Wow, I was seeing that a person mentioned the new Amphion ad today down below on mtjobs.com and sorry to hear you run out of work. Are you happy otherwise with them? That person asked about them.

I'm that poster from down below who asked about them and I guess I'll pass on applying with them since you guys are running out of work. I don't want to be part of the problem and take any work from those who already don't have enough. Thanks!
Amphion is awesome!! - MTingforlife

I guess I would encourage you to apply because I work for Amphion and have plenty of work, and could use some help on our accounts.
KS is doing the same thing. - MTforTooLong

Keystrokes is hiring. And nobody I know who works there has enough work. NOBODY.
You should talk to KS instead of posting here. Does posting here get you more work? - Curious

I asked for a different account a few months back and was moved a week later. From what I was told by my lead, there are a lot of accounts with too much work right now and a few new accounts starting that need MT's. You should call the office if your lead isn't helping you get enough work.
KS isn't perfect, but running out of work is not a problem that many have. You need to ask for more.
Been there, done that! - MTforTooLong

The secondary account that they put me IS ALSO OVERSTAFFED!! I let them know that, and nothing has been done.
At this point I have to conclude that ALL of their accounts are overstaffed. Just read the posts on this board -- excepting KS management's posts, of course.
You need to ask questions, not assume. - CriticalThinkingMT

I'm working O/T this weekend because our account is so understaffed. I was in the same position a few months ago and I bugged and bugged until I got another account. Contact the operations manager - she will hook you up with more more!

Amphion is great to work for. They are getting new accounts. Key is you have to make 22,000 lines a payperiod VR minimum. They give you 3 payperiods to get there or you get to hit the road.
and what is that great rate they are paying for vr? - crappola

You can't make money at Amphion. They make it totally impossible.
I was offered 4 cpl for VR just a month ago - s/m
[ In Reply To ..]
Straight transcription was 8 cpl with a half cent bonus for the hours worked in the evening and at night.
VR was 4 cpl no matter what the straight CPL was. I was told about 80% VR and 20% straight was average on the account.
I ended up somewhere else.
They seemed very nice, though.
Really? when did this start? - SassyPants

I've been with Amphion for just over a year FT and have not made the 12,000 line minimum yet, and have not heard a peep about it. My understanding is FT needs at least 10,000 lines per PP to keep FT status, insurance, PTO, and 401k. Even with 2 accounts and FT hours I'm at 11,000 plus. I have never gotten a warning, phone call, nothing about not making line count minimum of 12,000 which is what I was told upon hire.
for that company or MQ? I'm confused on a recent ad that I thought of applying to. It says part of MQ, but lists another company name. Are they entities of MQ or ? Does anyone know? TIA ...
I'm thinking of sending my resume in to my current job, since they're hiring, for part-time work, since I'm sitting in front of my computer without work. I don't understand why this happens.
AND....to all those applying and getting hired at said company that keeps running out of work yet continues to hire, if I started a job and soon after ran out of work, that would be a huge red flag, and I think I would move on. ...
Paying 15.00 an hour. It is temp to hire. Hours 8 am to 5 pm, Unfortunately, I already have an inhouse day shift job. They asked if I knew anyone who would be interested. Couldn't think of a soul. ...
Hi,
I am new to the independent contractor thing, but shouldn't a company that has "hired" you as an independent contrator have your SS and a 1099 filled out by you? Just wondering as it seems to me this is necessary and since it is not being done, it makes me wonder about this company that much more, espcially since others have stated they have not been paid by this company. I guess if they are not planning on paying me they don't need a 1099 or SS# huh? ...
I am working at a company who observes certain holidays and we are required to work 4 of them, but this is the first company I have ever worked where I have to use my PTO on the holiday I am supposed to be off. Does your company do the same?
Thank you! :) ...
up and I'd be back at square one, making no more than their "maximums." I wonder, are this new maximum pay going to stay the same (or lower)? I mean, in 5 or 10 years (if we are still here) will it be the same? Or less? I think so. ...
We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists. I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference. I am asking for real answers, ones that ar ...
one to stay away from. Integrity. They test you, claim they are checking your references and then when you email asking if they got hold of the references, crickets. Not a word from them. This has been a few weeks, too. If they are this rude just during the recruiting process, I hate to think what working for them would be like. ...
Has anyone heard of a company called MDOfficeManager? I was interested but I do not like the way they require SSN and other personal information up front before allowing the applicant to proceed with other parts of the application, including online tests. I have heard there are fake websites for job applications. Thanks. ...
Softscript hiring ad AGAIN - I had a total of 2 out of 4 days of work. I am only part-time, but I wonder how the full-timers feel, if they are out of work and then see the hiring ad. ...
WTF is going on? I am no longer an MT, but I still care about a lot of people who are still TRYING to work at the Q. Just popped over to mtjobs and the Q has an ad on there for MTs wishing to embark on a world class....etc. It's unacceptable that the Q doesn't let anyone know what is going on at the MT level, starve out all the experienced ones they "acquired," then offshore to Inida and hire a bunch of newbies. I don't have any idea what sort of game they ...
I want to work a part time job to supplement my other part time job at Nuance because sometimes there is no work. I see an opening at TTS but when reviewing posts about TTS it sounds like a bad place to work with incompetent recruiters and managers. It seems 95% of the posts are bad regarding TTS. I am leery about working for a company that keeps advertising for help, especially if it isn't a large one like Nuance or MQ.
Is this a good company where there is work or ...
Are any decent MTSOs actually hiring ICs... and I mean IC in the traditional meaning of the word; not locked into some arbitrary schedule design, but a daily line committment. I have 10 years experience. The company I was working for no longer has the account I was working on. They have given me some pick up work here and there, but I can't live on $100 a week or less from odd jobs while they find something new and steady. They estimate it may take 60-90 days for that to h ...
Does any one know of a company that is TRULY hiring? The small company I worked for no longer has the account I was. They have nothing steady for me to do right now. Christmas is coming and I have 5 kids and everything is going wrong (septic tore up, car tore up, etc.). There are tons of posts for Nuance, Softscript, etc.... (tho I prefer a small company that actually cares about its MTs) I apply, I test, I don't hear anything back. I have 10 ...
How is TTS (Transcription, Technology & Support) to work for as far as enough work, QA, and overall being a reputable company? I am guessing you do not make much money since it is all voice recognition. Just curious, because it seems like they have an ad every day, sometimes twice a day, looking for 2nd shift MTs. ...
Holy cow! I have been an MT for about 4 years now. I am looking for a new job and have sent my resume EVERYWHERE! No calls, emails, or anyhthing. Is this industry going in the toilet completely now? ...
MM has ads placed as few as 12 hours ago, 1 day ago, etc., to hire MTs. I would like to respond to these ads and say "um, hello?! I already work for you...wanna throw some of that work my way?!" It's maddening! ...
some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get..... That's about the only way you're going to get many experienced quality MTs. And there are always plenty of MTs looking for part-time weekend work as a 2nd job. ...
