AMPHION - Not what it's cracked up to be from reviews here - running on less than MT


Posted: Mar 10, 2010

Just wanted to give a heads up to anybody considering this company.  Even though they don't offshore, they are one of the worst bait-and-switcher MTSOs I've encountered. I was promised a non-overflow account by the talent acquisitions staff and then, once I actually started training, was moved to another account that at least had the work types I wanted.  But that was only overflow, so I got put on a secondary with specs so ridiculously different from my primary that I would have to constantly refer to the instructions every other night or so in order to comply with regs.  So, basically, I was lied to from the get-go.  

Not trying to break my arm patting myself on the back here, but they lost one of the best employees they would have had.  Since I'm a sloppy typist (partly due to the looseness of the keys on my ergo keyboard), I really have to proofread my stuff well before sending it in, so I'm not one of the super producers, but I do strive for as much quality as possible because of my concern for patient care, mainly.

Anyway, forewarned is forearmed.  Just wanted to counter some of the glowing reviews here after my experience with them.

How long were you there? I applied and tested with them, was offered a job and then when I inquired about it the next day was told they weren't hiring. I actually had high hopes for this place as they are one of the few who doesn't send work off shore. Sorry about your bad experience.

Amphion offshoring - wise old woman

[ In Reply To ..]
I do believe they offshore, or at least they did when I worked there. Management sent an e-mail explaining their reasoning, yada yada yada. Although their web site may say otherwise, I'm thinking they still do it.

I wouldn't be surprised, though they claimed otherwise. - running on less than MT

The quality of the VR was so incredibly variable, I could swear that sometimes I was really editing stuff from offshore rather than do actual voice wreck.

two whole different account specifics and you quit over it - boo hoo

Oh dear... dont go working for the Q. I have an average of 8 to 10 different accounts daily that I bounce back and forth doing by the job that all have their own account specifics, this doc wants this, this doc wants that, this hospital uses JCAHO, this uses AAMT, this uses both but only on Sunday...

Seriously! I cannot believe they lost one the best employees they would have had if you cannot do 2 accounts.

I think I will go apply at Amphion. Sounds absolutely WONDERFUL to me!

I worked for the Q for 7 years... - running on less than MT

Frying pan, little fire, going from the Q to Amphion (with several other stops in between). If that's your cup of tea, go for it. Me, I want and deserve better than what this whole craptastic industry is doing to its best professionals. Dumbing down of America and the globe, going for the lowest common denominator. Yaa hoo.

I have been at Amphion for about 6 months...luvin every minute of it! They are extremely MT oriented. As far as working more than 1 account with different specs...that is the nature of the beast until EVERYONE is on EMR. Then you will find things consistent and pretty common. I think working on a couple of accounts rocks! Keeps me from getting bored, especially with that SR/VR (snooze, I am a typer!)

Nearing The Quarter's End = More Post-audit Reviews!
Mar 17, 2014

I really hate to add to the conspiracy theories (as I generally just don't believe them), but I can't help but add to this one! I can definitely tell that the quarter is almost up because I've started receiving more and more post-audit reviews, and of course they are just enough to knock my out of the running for bonus, despite having a near 100% score of QC1 and post-audits earlier in the month.  Any post-audit QA's out there want to comment on this?  It's a ...

Q For Amphion MTs

Anyone ever get fired from Amphion for not meeting line requirements? I work for them FT or more as needed and have yet to make the 12,000 line requirement. I've been with them for 6 months now and have not heard a peep about it. My QA is meeting requirements and my attendance is excellent, but I have yet to make the line count. I've switched my schedule, asked for another team, another account, work extra, racked my brain, all to no answer or just "no". I'm not sure what to do a ...
