Nothing but bad experiences with Acusis. - (see/msg)

[ In Reply To ..]
I used to work for a decent MTSO, but Acusis bought us out. They promised us
"nothing would change", that pay would stay the same for straight typing, and most likely increase when we were forcibly switched to VR.

That was nothing but lies. Our pay went DOWN with VR. Their VR software was awful - both the sound and the transcription portions. On top of that, they periodically randomly cut our per-line pay - for no other reason than just because they could get away with it.

The good work is sent to India (this is an Indian company with a Pennsylvania "storefront" in the U.S.) The accounts the US MTs get are the dregs, both in number of horrible dictators, and amount of material to pore over in their job descriptions. I'm talking REAMS of reading for every account, and sometimes for specific doctors.

Team leaders are for the most part nice to your face, but stab you in the back whenever QA gets involved, as they answer to QA. Manager of the QA department is the manager from hell.

They will nitpick, or let Indian QA people "correct" your work, often putting in "errors" that weren't there before. Plan to spend an inordinate amount of time each and every day DEFENDING YOURSELF against this.

Lately Acusis has been modeling itself after Nuance and M*Modal business and employee practices. So if you hate working for Nuance and M*Modal, you'll be equally unhappy working for Acusis.

Enough said, I will NOT work for anyone associated with India, plus all the other stuff, moving on! It really does sound like Nuance and M-Modal, both of whom I worked for and hated. Thank you for the honest information.

Thanks in advance. I am CMT with 16 years experience, currently working for a recently bought-out MTSO. I will probably test with Acusis this weekend. Is 9.25 cpl realistic for Acusis at all? What's the % cut for VR pay? I see they state a 12-hour window. Is 36 hours considered full-time? Are you paid for spaces? VBC? Is PTO decent? Again, thanks so much! ...

Any info would be most helpful - platform, QA, etc. This position requires pay per dictation.

"… you suggest we dont go to work and what?????" Yes, don't go to work! You must answer the "… and what?????" part of the question you ask. I have made multiple posts with multiple suggestions on what each individual can do. Those actions can include your suggestion of "lay on my couch?" if you so desire, although that will not be as effective as say participating in your local May 1st activities.
