anyone have any scoop on Archivus - curious

Posted: Jul 16, 2010

I have an offer with Archivus. Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Are they decent to work for? Is the account that is on ExText truly 70% ASR and 30% straight typing? Thanks in advance

Mamma always told me if I didn't have anything nice to say - to say nothing at all. nm

Would you mind emailing me the issues you had with them if you don't want to say it on here?

My original post in this position was in error. I was indeed speaking of a different account, another that starts with an A and ends with an S.

I apologize for the confusion. Actually, if you like IC status, Archivus is one of the best around for allowing true IC type work. There is no micromanagement and while they like an idea when you will be working, they do not chain you to your desk. There have been some problems with work volume but it is cyclical and the slow periods have never seemed to last more than a couple of weeks.

thanks for the info - curious....nm

You must be confused with another company- sm - Happy MT

I have been on the ExText account the original poster inquired about for 2 years. The account just started speech rec in sept/oct of last year. They didn't cut anyone's pay and there was no conference call to announce cutting pay. They did adjust the pay scale a few months ago, but I am actually making a little bit more with the new way.

Overall, I am pretty happy. The work does go up and down, but that is pretty much the case anywhere you go.

worked with them in past, always running out of work, no benefits, sm - nm

The supervisor is not supervisor material. No concern for transcriptionist at this company. You will be lucky to get a reply from your e-mails. I quit because there was never enough work. They have VR also.

Stay away from that account.... - SuzyMT

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt to stay away from ANY ExText accounts with Archivus. First reason is, low work volume. They'll mass hire to get caught up and then let you fight for scraps. This will happen very very often. Secondly, this means you will most likely get the worst supervisor EVER. One that you can never get in contact with and just has no clue. It may be worth working here on another platform, but definitely not ExText, I got moved off that to something better and I was better off.

Good news and bad news. I just got off the phone with Mr. Young. He specializes in cases like mine, but only from an unemployment point-of-view, not class-action suits. He also charges $3500 to take on an individual unemployment case (sheesh might as well take my first-born). I briefly rehashed with him the fact that uf we don't comply with their new rules, they will drop our salaries by half or more, and that this has been an ongoing problem with them for years, cha ...

This is an except of an email that I received from the CEO of the company today. This was after I sent an email last week and things were "misconstrued" on their part. After reading this, I am of the opinion that while yes, they offer straight transcription at a "decent rate" by today's standards, it also explains to me why I was tearing my hair out on the dictators I had. We American MTs were getting the "garbage," with no way of being able to look things up by patient.&n ...

Does this company hire and then after a quarterly review have QA pick your work apart and then tell you they can either terminate your contract or cut your pay. Understand this has happened to more than one person. Has anyone experienced this. They told me I was doing awesome work, not they picked the work after and then tell me that in 2 weeks my contract will either be terminated or will have a reduced line rate. This makes no sense. I have 18 years experience.&nb ...

Any current info on either of these companies; pay, how the management treats MTs, enough work? Trying to make a decision.
