athreon transcription - anon


Posted: Dec 04, 2014

has anyone heard of or worked for Athreon, Chicago.  They are advertising openings in various fields and have an ad that "sounds to good to be true." 

I had a phone interview with them about 4 months ago - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
After passing the online tests, I got a phone interview. The woman I talked to refused to tell me what they pay -- which, of course, was one of my first questions -- and immediately raised a red flag to me. She said I would find out in the "second interview" if I made it that far. Hah! She also said I would need to take out a "business license" to work for them as an IC (never heard of that one before). They only wanted me to guarantee one hour of work a day M-F and I could choose the time.

I really asked a lot of questions and felt that, although the woman was nice who did the interview, she wasn't prepared for all the questions I had. She wasn't just interviewing me; I was interviewing her, too!

I knew right away it wasn't a good match for me. They apparently felt the same way about me because I got an e-mail later on that day saying they felt I wouldn't be a good fit with their company. You think?

Thanks for everyone's posts on this company.  I got a call last week for an application in MAY.   Sure enough, I started asking questions about what I learned from this post (no pay for spaces, IC Business license requirements and pay schedules) and while they gave me that information on the 'first interview' when they did not others, I just got my letter stating we probably were not a good fit.   Also, she made sure to let me know they were hiring without having clients to s ...

GET OUT OF TRANSCRIPTION
May 17, 2010

Since the advent of voice recognition and overseas outsourcing, transcription has ceased to be a profession.   I will NEVER -- repeat, NEVER make the money I was making as a transcriptionist at a hospital 5 years ago, before we were replaced by VR and cheap outsourcing to India.   Now all that's left are transcription companies here in the U.S. that don't want to pay much more, lie to us and tamper with our line counts.   GET OUT, GET OUT OF TRANSCRIPTION! ...


A Day Without Transcription?
May 28, 2010

It seems that everyone has negative things to say about how employers do not pay MTs what they're worth and how they offshore the easy stuff, but pile on the lousy ESL stuff on the transcriptionists in the States. Too bad there can't be a general strike of U.S. MTs - a day without transcription - just to show how we're needed. It seems to be the only thing employers would understand. Impossible, I know, but I bet employers would sit up and take notice. ...
