If you are happy with your job, please post company name or initials here.

with our job paying us for NO holidays, use PTO earned for sick, holiday pay, and everything else that may come at us in life!  You better believe those inhouse clerks, etc./sups, leads, execs and on and on get their GIFT and a hefty one at that.  Why are we at-home supposed to be satisfied with nothing, but a low-paying job, low work most of the time, requests from company to flex and flex for THEM, but no flexing when the MT needs off.

Yes, I am thankful for a job, and that is exactly what it is . . . . a job (almost).  That is if you consider NO paid HOLIDAYS like all other types of companies give.  Yes, these are hard times, but these hard times are hitting the MT harder and harder each and every year!  It does not affect the office support staff, etc., etc., etc.  They are paid for holidays and whether there is work for the MT or not.  We are piecemeal workers only (similar to sweat shop workers).  Yes, I am thankful that I have a paycheck coming home, BUT I have to WORK VERY HARD for every penny that comes home to me in the form of a paycheck -- without any paid breaks or holidays.  The office staff are the lucky ones -- everything paid for them!

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 

Pros/cons of Amphion currently.

Thanks!

I don't want to be a job hopper, but what is up with these companies??? 

They offer one thing and then completely turn around and do another (only after being employed for a month or so)---- 

You will be completely satisfied and productive on one account and completely out of nowhere they switch on you, throw you on a new account (when they said they wouldn't because they like to see their MTs productive).

I get my Expanders and macros set up ...and BOOM... new account. 

Then there you are learning new account specifics with a bunch of crappy dictators---It feels as if you are starting all over again with a new company.  

Can you ever be really happy?  I am not asking for specific company names here.  I am just wondering since changing jobs 3 times since leaving MQ THIS YEAR if all of the companies are like this.  Maybe I just jinx myself by getting happy and excited and telling people how great this new company is. lol. 

It is not just the switching of the accounts.. it is the IC companies that start out to be 24 hour TAT and then ask you for a schedule after working for a couple of weeks (even when you are getting your required lines in).  Or the companies that even though they are IC and you did give them a schedule expect you to log on any time of the day to work. AGGGHHHH.

I get that this is the business..and I don't want days filled with glorious dictators and simple work (I know that is not possible).  I would just like to be left in ONE PLACE for once with a primary account that doesn't get switched for no reason and get my work back as agreed upon!  Hey throw all of the horrid ESLs you want at me on the account... just leave me be! lol. Seriously.

I just cannot be productive working like this.

If you say you do better, they'll deny it.  Ssssshh, don't burst their bubble. They get grumpy when you do.

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 

I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 

There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments

One downside is occasionally running low on work, but I have plenty of backups, so I never run out.  Platform gets quirky sometimes, but it doesn't stop me from producing and earning bonuses.  Great people.  Come on over. 

took their test to work for them and I have more than 18 years of experience and they sent me a really insulting letter telling me to apply again in six months when I had more experience.

The audio was horrible and I had no way of slowing the dictation down. 

I asked about what errors I had made and of course they told me to call.  I was not going to do that if they could not even give me an estimate of my mistakes which they could easily have done.  I was not about to play phone tag when I needed to work badly and had to wait till I was finished for the day to take the stupid test.

When you don't have the right equipment, just how are you supposed to take a test.  I know that I got the answers to the written part right and I did the best I could with the dictation which I say was awful, but to insult me like that having 18 years of experience and sending that shoddy letter just infuriated me.  I will never try again, I'll sure bet.

Glad the rest of you got past the front door and liked it.  I thought I sure would have.  Oh, well.  I

I have been working for them a little over a year and have been very happy.  The program is great; it's very easy to use.  Sound quality has been very good.  I was assigned one account when I first started that had very poor sound quality.  I'm not sure if the problem was at their end or mine, but I asked if I could switch accounts and they had no problem with that.

Work is plentiful.  The only time I have run out is around the holidays, but it doesn't last for long, and I think you'll find that's the case with most companies.

There have been many negative postings about them, but I honestly have been quite happy with them.  I think some people are just chronic complainers!  You're always going to find things you don't like no matter where you work.  You just have to decide if the good outweighs the bad.
