Keystrokes sm - Night shift yawn

Posted: Sep 16, 2011

Noticed they posted a job for the night shift. For those who have worked this shift or are working this shift for Keystrokes, is there enough work. Seems never to be enough work and that would be murder staying away for no work. :-/

Yes, there is usually work - KSmt

I work the evening shift part time. For the account I am on, even when there was "no work", I still had a few reports each night. There are a lot of day shifters on my account and I have as much work as I need. HTH.

Thank you for the reply nm - night shift maybe

I work overnights for them and get paid hourly. sm - busy MT

I worked evenings (4-12) for them for a few years and had a lot of work, but that was 2 years ago. I went to overnights then and never looked back because it fits me better. Since I turned 55, I don't sleep anyway, might as well be busy!

If you can work off the old dictaphone call in player there is work, if not forget it. I worked for them and loved my account, but my account manager quit one day, the account ended sending work the next. They said all they had was dictaphone work so when I questioned the add saying they had tons of different platforms, nobody even answered back, which was not a surprise because it was like dealing with the commercial where "Peggy" answers the phone to get hold of anybody.

that's funny - original op

Thanks for your responses. I still have teenagers in the house, so I think working the graveyard shift is out.

So funny about the Peggy comment. God help us in the USA.

Read the job opening for Keystrokes and also talked with the recruiter. Can anybody here who works(ed) for and Keystrokes give real, hands-on experience for working for them?

and QA dings me for one. Unbelievable. That's what it averages for 1400 lines a day full-time. Even with 3 cups of coffee and an office chair seat belt, it's no easy feat. Ninety-thousand keystrokes PER DAY. That's not including the ADT, the Internet look-ups, etc. Throw me a bone here, QA. How many keystrokes to you do, PERFECTLY?? ...

How is it? The trainer says it is one of the easiest platforms to learn on if you've never done it. Said the threshold is set high at like 85% (not sure what that means) and it proves to be very lucrative for some. Anyone have any experience with it they could share? Not only am I new to Keystrokes, totally new to VR as well. Thanks in advance! ...

A few years back, I was cut in pay at Keystrokes. Do you know if they are going to eventually give us a raise or that money back? They seem to be hiring more and more and some of the pay that is offered is more than I currently am getting. I wanted to advance in pay, not go down in pay! ...

So rumor has it that an original KS employee has decided to leave the nest and venture out with another company. WOW...I thought she was a fixture there. I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, huh. Wonder if it was her idea, or theirs (which is more likely the reason). Oh well, let's see who's next???? Perhaps that wonderful Coordinator that everyone loves and fears...you know, the frustrated teacher wannabe!!!! ...

I'm a bit confused with Keystrokes. The ad they have placed here indicates wanting 40 people for new accounts, etc. However, I just received an email about job openings for only 2 very heavy ESL 1-9 shifts. I don't understand why they would have this ad and yet only be sending info about only the 2 jobs. I'm in their DATABASE and am sent these emails according to what opens up. I have not received anything about these supposed 40 j ...
