Acusis? - LookingForGreenerGrass

Posted: Jul 12, 2012

All right, anyone work or have worked for this company in the past..........and have any feedback for me? I will be testing for them soon and want to know what I'm getting into. They look to be a bit better benefit wise than Softscript that I just interviewed with. Input appreciated, please.

They've got a lot of CRAB GRASS. - I work there - - - s/msg

Pay has dropped so drastically there, that these days the health coverage is the only thing I'm getting by working there. And it's for emergencies only, because we're paid so little I can't afford the co-pays on healthcare. So I still have to go without most of the time.

The software is slow. The job details of each account are ridiculous in the number of rules, and exceptions to rules, you have to either know, or look up continuously just to type a report.

Straight typing has all but dried up, and it's at least 90% VR there. My accounts are nearly 100% VR. And VR pays less than 4 cpl.

Contrary to what they will tell you is possible, on their software, VR is NOT faster. You'll have to work a lot of unpaid overtime to get your minimum lines in every pay period. QA there is anal and punitive. I'm just holding my breath and counting the days until I can finally blow out of that sweatshop for good.

I have seen some posts where people want to know about Acusis. I will tell you what I know and about my recent experience with them. The Human Resources person, Susanna Sovek,is located in Pennsylvania. My supervisor was located in California. The IT folks are in India and the CMT's are all over the place. You are given 3 weeks of "training" as per the "roadmap". The first week you are paid $180, the second $240 and the third $260 provided that you are meeting the criteria of 99% accu ...

I'm wondering how is it working at Acusis. Pay scale is "funky" being you get paid less if your work goes to QA, but otherwise seems reasonable. I searched and the only thing I turn up is stuff that is from 2009, so looking for fresher info. Thanks in advance ...

Has any Acusis employee felt some desperation with Acusis lately? I know that some accounts are really being monitored by the hospitals and they are not happy right now, but some of the things we are having to do are starting to slow down production. It makes me a little concerned for job security. ...

Last year, there were some changes made at Acusis and a group of MTs left at that time. I was wondering if any of these MTs found a "new home" they are happy with. I felt DRC was very good to its MTs and wonder if there are other "jewels" like it was out there. ...

Well now, don't all we US MTs at Acusis feel better after our quarterly meeting? After being informed of all the new accounts signed on, we are told that, of course, they are going to India. But this quote they left us with should soothe us. "In times of great change the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves uniquely equipped to operate in a world that no longer exists." KMA! ...
