Pay is based on 65 cpl with spaces.
Platform is their own, Word based, easy and user friendly.
Yes, they pay on time.
Yes, it's heavy ESL - be prepared for dealing with some of the worst accounts with 95% ESL or accounts with 14 pages of specs or accounts where they still can't get the specs figured out after a year. It's a trade-off - pages of specs or tons of ESLs.

More about Futurenet
They have a tendency to overhire. When questioned about the shortage of work, they blame it on being a slow time of year across 30+ accounts (hmm, the entire year is slow?). When the work suddenly picks up, it's because lots are "out sick" coughTheycoughQuitcough, (like we're too dumb to figure this out). Don't get too comfy or excited about the work available, because they will make sure to stifle your earnings by overhiring again. It's a neverending cycle.
You are expected to work 1 day every weekend. They pay incentive rate when weekend minimum lines are met.
You are an IC, but you must adhere to a schedule.
Expect lots of e-mails.

Hope this helps.

I love FutureNet - jr

I have worked for FutureNet for almost 2 years and love it! I get 9.5 cpl/65 character lines. I have 3 accounts and almost never run out of work. My supervisor is awesome and is completely understanding about time off/sick. Would recommend this company without a doubt.

I work for Future Net. Its not bad. Work is good, lots of ESL but some of them are not hard to get. The company seems to have a lot of work and several accounts. They pay on time and have good support.

I worked for this company when it went from YOG to MQ and now to FN and also worked QA etc for this company -- platform is great; however, work "dried up." -- work also went to a company whicch begins with a "J" - A large company but can't offer DD? -- I had to have about 3 paychecks cancelled, and reissued to my bank -- If you have HEAVY ESL experience its workable

and that company ends with an "LG" - Tired&CrankyMT

Gypsy - They have a lot of work? Email sent out worrying about 1 job going out of TAT in just under 2.5 hours, hardly considered a lot of work or even enough work to go around on a consistent basis.

It doesn't seem to matter to the salaried PM, who is only worried about maintaining TAT, that you are paid on production and only earn $300 in a pay period due to overhiring causing the lack of work. Rest assured, more bodies will be hired to cover that 1 file.

Imagine a pack of 70 starving animals hovering over a scrap of food, all fighting to be the one who gets to eat that scrap.

I'll say again, the "a lot of work" situation only arises when people "are out sick" (in other words a bunch of them quit suddenly).

Give it time, when the latest hiring spree is finished, there will be no work and you'll start reading how it's a "slow time of year," but if you want work, there is 1 file available in account XYZ. ...Hurry and grab it before someone else does!

Anon - They have DD, but you have to qualify for it with earnings averaging greater than $500 per pay period.

could NOT have said it better. Talk about feast and famine . . . nm - mta

If you are an employee working in California with an employer in another State you need to be aware of the State of California Labor Laws.

had difficulty finding a job with an MTSO and suspect it is because you live in CA (they probably don't like the fair worker's laws we have here, ie, having to pay our benefit rate for OT, having to pay for NJA, etc).

I, too, live in California. I'm a level-3 MT, getting mostly ESLs and other difficult dictators.
