keystrokes - Do you get steady work? - sm

Posted: Jan 19, 2010

I've recently been hired by Keystrokes and wonder if any current employees could give me some info on what their day is like working there. I'm a bit nervous starting a new job after 19 years at my old one. Do you get steady work? Is it hard to make required lines? How easy is it to adjust schedule if needed? Are you QA'd to death like at some other places? How often are you audited? How's the communication between staff? Thanks a bunch.

3/4 way down page are recent Keystroke posts - n/m

not exactly the info OP is trying to find out about, so you've offered no real help.

I went to work for KeyStrokes after being at MQ for close to 10 years. It has been a nice change. The platform I'm on was a bit tricky to work in the beginning but now it's second nature. I don't have problems getting my lines in at all and I rarely ever run out of work. They also let us know of other shift/platform openings in case we are looking for something else there. I've never had a problem with asked for schedule changes either. Overall, I think they are a very good MTSO.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard. This is a good company to work for - KS MT

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? I've had many instances where how it really is isn't how the recruiter said it would be and don't want to get burned again. I'd really like to know the good and bad about the company upfront before I decide whether or not to accept the job. Please don't ...

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!!!! ...
