Any Synernet employees? - smeeps

Posted: Apr 02, 2013

I passed all of their online testing and have a phone interview tomorrow. I'm scared and nervous at the same time. But, seeing that my on-site position will likely be gone by summer, this could be a good thing.

I just started at Synernet recently and so far so good. Straight typing, steady work, great dictators, best benefits offered in this field among MTSOs. The line rate may SEEM low, but once you factor the ease with which you can accumulate lines on their platform not to mention the excellent benefits, you will be making great money from the very start. As long as you have the discipline to work a fixed schedule, this is the best place I've come across in more than 6 years for an employee position. Good luck with your interview of if you get an offer - jump on it!

What is the line rate? - ?

I was wondering if you could tell me which platform you work on. I'm thinking of applying, and have learned after working many different places that the rate is not as important as the platform. TIA

It's Fusion and it's honestly one of the best, most user friendly platforms I've ever worked on.

Does Fusion incorporate Word? (nm) - Wunderkind

It does - Busy MT

[ In Reply To ..]
It is Word-based and does incorporate with it. :)

Totally agree! - Busy MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I couldn't agree with this more! I just recently started there as well and the benefits are the best you will find and they have a VERY generous vacation package. Yes, 7 cpl may seem low, but you will never ever run out of work and it's VERY easy to accumulate lines. I do well over 2000 a lines a day every day. The lower line rate almost scared me away when I was first hired, but I'm so glad I didn't let it! I'm making more at 7 cpl than I was at 9 cpl at my old job that constantly ran out of work. I do know that Synernet does not hire all that often because they have such a low turnover rate, so if you get offered a position, I'd go for it!

Now I'm excited....... - smeeps

The in-house job, I've had for a total of 3 years, has been using Fusion. I'm very familiar with it. I'll see how it goes at 9 a.m. tomorrow :)

Just Had My Interview..... - smeeps

It went very well. However, this was only round 1 of interviews. So, I will be contacted either way if I'm going on to round 2 or not. Like if I wasn't nervous enough. It is what it is though. As for holidays, sure it's nice to be off, but I don't mind working them (the extra pay is nice to have).

RE: Synernet - Stubby

Just wanted to add that it is VERY easy to get 2000+ lines per shift; from my first week after training, I have averaged a little over 300 lph which comes out to $21/h. I expect that as I learn the names of the physicians, facilities, towns, etc., I should be able to do even better. Also, as someone else pointed out in another post, this is a hospital-owned company; they are not going to outsource the work to another MTSO/overseas. Highly recommend!

Same here - Busy MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm also averaging over 300 lph on most days. I was even doing well over 2000 lines a day during the 2 weeks of training. The dictators are excellent and the reports are usually fairly long (not little dinky 1-3-minute reports), so the lines add up quickly. I find myself averaging $22-$25 per hour. I haven't been this happy in a job in years.

Do they allow part-time - employment?

[ In Reply To ..]
It doesn't look like it according to their website. If so, do you know the minimum hours worked? Thanks!!

Their ad on Seeker's says FT, 2nd & 3rd shift, and 4 holidays to be worked. nm - NYMT

[ In Reply To ..]
Sorry to ask this again, but you are getting 2000+ lines per shift doing straight typing, not VR?

Yes, it's all straight typing - Busy MT

[ In Reply To ..]
No VR at all, all straight.

Their careers page says it is typing AND editing.. - Just sayin...nm

If you just started there, how do you know you will never run out of work? In regard to turnover, I have actually seen ads for them quite often, at least twice in the last 3-4 months. Stuff happens, but I hope it turns out to be everything you are looking for in an employer. I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just becoming more cautious in my old age.

By recently, I mean a year - BusyMT

[ In Reply To ..]
I have been there 11-1/2 months. I guess I consider that as fairly recent. I probably should has said that before. Back when I first started, I asked if they frequently run out of work and I was told "that just doesn't happen here". That turned out to be completely true. I have never even come close to running out of work during the entire year I've been there. This is one company who does NOT over hire. The go on mandatory OT when the volumes get really high.

I really hate to think about working at 7 cpl, but the rest sounds good. Do you sm - COMT

[ In Reply To ..]
you know, do they allow a split shift? I find I am more productive if I split it up and not try working a solid 8 hours.

Thanks.

Wonder why they won't accept testing from people - in certain states?

[ In Reply To ..]
They are not set up to hire anyone from these states: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Washington and Wyoming.

Kinda sucks. :(

Accepting testing - Synernet reject

[ In Reply To ..]
They accepted my test, I did really well. I live in one of those states, though, and was told after the fact that they don't hire in my state. I think it's too expensive for them to do business in certain states, and some of the requirement for a business license may be prohibitive. People are talking about them as if working 4 holidays a year and mandatory OT are wonderful things, to each their own.

Holidays & OT - Stubby

[ In Reply To ..]
You are right - to each their own. BUT, I find it incredible in an industry that has eroded to the point that most often the complaint is "No Work", "running out of work," "can't make enough money to support self or family," that anyone would complain about having to work 4 holidays (as far as I know every MTSO requires work on holidays) and occasional mandatory overtime in efforts to prevent overhiring and ensuring that for the rest of the 361 days of the year you have steady work. I don't know about anybody else, but me & mine really don't celebrate President's day and working that day really doesn't adversely affect my quality of life (many places don't consider the day after Thanksgiving a holiday either); working my regularly scheduled shift on 4 holidays, in an industry that I know doesn't close for the holidays, doesn't offend me. But as you said - to each their own.

I'm with you - another Synernet MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Just look at the contrast between this thread and the threads of other MTSOs on this page.

Exactly - Busy MT

[ In Reply To ..]
In pretty much all of the other threads on this board, everyone is complaining about not having enough work and constantly having to sit around and wait for available jobs. Here is a company who NEVER runs out of work and ensures that will never happen by not over hiring and instituting mandatory OT to cover higher volumes and vacations so that their current employees can have a chance to make even more money. Some MTs will never be happy! They'll complain if there isn't enough work, then they'll complain that they don't want to work holidays or OT. I'm shaking my head! I'm so incredibly grateful to have a job with Synernet. They offer so much more security and stability than other other MTSO I've worked for.

I'm an employee - TR

I work for Synernet. They actually are a very good company to work for. There is rarely a day when there is no work. QA is extremely helpful, gets back to you pretty quick, and very organized. The company is very organized and has high standards (which is a good thing). They really frown on changing your schedule. Make sure you know exactly what will work for you before you would possibly start with them as far as a schedule goes. They micromanage pretty hard. The more experience you have the better but will work with you to give you tips on how to be more productive if you need help. They require you work 4 holidays a year. Pay is ALWAYS on time and they are pretty fair about it. Definitely a reliable paycheck.

How long does it take... - Smeeps

[ In Reply To ..]
For them to tell you either way if you've made it to round 2 of interviews? I guess I'm excited/nervous. And just wondering. :)

They told me during the first interview - Jamie

[ In Reply To ..]
At the end of my first interview, they told me they would definitely be setting up a second interview, which they scheduled with me a couple of days later.

Why so many interviews? - Wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
Shouldn't the testing and 1 interview be enough? Wonder by so many?

The first is with recruiter/HS, the second is with - the MT supervisor(nm)

Oh Well :( - smeeps

I was politely thanked for taking the time and effort to complete all testing and participating in the phone interview, but they are looking into other candidates.

When I was there last year during the mandatory OT, I definitely did not work OT all the time. No one ever sent me an e-mail as to why I was not. I just could not do it. It was too taxing on my body, as I have some medical issues going on. Just so you know. Then when I did, I would do may be 4 hours sometimes 2. That is too much to ask of a person, as we do have a life and responsibilities outside of our job. ...
