What I know

In Reply to: Diskriter questions - please - I know there have been some posts already...sm - Are they good or not?
I only work on one particular account, as a hospital employee, so I can't speak for all the other numerous specific accounts, but here is what I know:
All of the supervisors I have had were very pleasant and easy to deal with, as well as QA (sometimes they are the same person). They do seem to have somewhat of a turnover in this department though. I have had about 4 or 5 different supervisers in a couple years.
Rarely run out of work, even working on just my one account. Usually the day after a holiday or on the holiday itself. They pay for downtime.
They have different platforms for different accounts, but I work on CTS and find it easy to use. You work in Word with autocorrect/text. They pay for headers/footers/spaces. Very happy with my line counts.
Insurance through my particular hospital is excellent and very inexpensive compared with other companies. I believe the insurance cost is a bit higher if you work directly for Diskriter. My family coverage runs not quite $100 every 2 weeks.
Pay rate I believe is generally around 8 cpl with 1 cpl incentive over 6000 lines per week.
My large teaching hospital I would say has a normal amount of ESL, not excessive though. The important thing is you have large teaching hospital experience if you get on one of these accounts.
I don't remember a whole lot about the testing, but there was an initial phone call with the recruiter with a small oral test of about 10 or 12 questions, mostly having to do with terminology, no big deal if you have experience. I believe there was a typing test, but I don't remember specifics. If there was, it was not very long or difficult.
Hiring process took about 10-14 days with FedExing paperwork and such. I had to have an employment physical and background test. I don't know if this is required with everyone, as I work directly for the hospital and not Diskriter, although it is probably similar for both.
Hope this helps.
