Just applied to Nuance. Curious what hours most of you work and what hours 2nd shift is? - sm


Posted: Jul 10, 2012

Please don't discourage me from applying to Nuance.  I just lost my job today and I need a job BAD!  Plus, I've only got two semesters of college left before I graduate and move out of this field.  Anyway, can someone tell me what 2nd shift hours are? And I'm curious to know when most of you work.

Thanks

I believe shifts are according to the eastern time zone. So I am considered second shift as my shift starts at 1:00 EST, but for me it is 10:00 a.m., so essentially a day shift. M-F.

Good luck. If you get a good account it won't be too bad, just be cautious about QA.

I work 9 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday and it really isn't that bad. I have 2 accounts and am hardly ever out of work and if I wanted could work OT almost every day. I was in a position like you where I DESPERATELY needed a job so this job was a godsend to me and I am not going to knock it. Some paycheck is better than no paycheck

I work part-time from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. I have changed shifts a few times without any problem. I don't think you would have any problem picking the times you want to work - as long as you are there to work. I have had nothing but a positive experience with Nuance contrary to what some would say.

Nuance - Anyone Else Having Discrepancy In Hours Worked?
Nov 23, 2011

Over the last two pay periods, at the end of the period, the amount of hours they tell me I worked is extremely low compared to the hours that I actually worked. Last pay period, prior to "approving my time card", the total amount of hours they calculated that I worked over a two week period was 12 hours!!!! When in reality I had worked 36 hours. When I emailed my supervisor, as usual it took three days for her to answer and by then, she had already approved my time card because I hadn' ...


Nuance Hours/lines Discrepancy
Nov 30, 2011

There was a post last week on Nuance pay discrepancies. I had a 3 hour discrepancy, didn't think too much of it. I thought maybe I made a mistake. This time it is a 5 hour discrepancy. I know I didn't make a 5 hour mistake on my time punches. My lines are not what they should be either. I am about to find another job. I don't make enough as it is without being shorted. Did anyone else notice this with this last pay period? ...
