Flexible scheduling, but exhausting

Pros

-make your own schedule -salary is consistent during training and typically increases after -frequent helpful meetings to discuss how to improve -don’t have to deal with customers

Cons

-looking at a computer for long periods of time -has impossible standards for completing training -can only take a 10 minute break before you’re forced to take a 30 minute break even if you don’t want to -very tiring and boring -if you schedule yourself from 1-5 you don’t leave at 5, you leave when you’ve done 4 hours of work and anytime you stop typing takes away from your time. so basically if you want to leave at 5, you have to constantly type for 4 hours straight with no breaks

Thank you for the feedback! The job certainly involves a lot of time spent at a computer. Since our clients expect us to be familiar with the terminology and lingo of their industries, there is definitely a learning curve. As well, our clients expect a fast turnaround time on their transcriptions. So all of our scheduling is based on knowing how much time our transcriptionists are committing to work. It sounds like perhaps we could or should have set up your schedule differently to have been better for you.

Pros

I worked remote like most people at the company so there's advantages to that. You set your own hours more or less and the schedule is really flexible. There were multiple times where I had to and was able to make a schedule change right before I was meant to work, if we weren't that busy. Had kind and personable management. It's easy work as long as you have a good WPM. I stayed as a scribe and never really sought out any opportunities but there are some advancement opportunities and bonuses you could earn. The company gives you equipment and replaces it as needed.

Cons

The first few months I worked there were pretty busy, but work has dwindled down quite a bit even as we go into what used to be busy months. You have to be really good at the job in order to get more hours. Having to use a PC and monitor is kind of inconvenient if you don't have a lot of desk space in your home but it's nice that they provide you with equipment.

Don’t do this to yourself.

Pros

Flexible hours No customer interaction

Cons

No benefits No paid time off Low wage, barely enough to subsist in this inflationary economy. Infeasible targets for pay raise Intensive mental work and highly specialized performance targets for little reward. Takes a toll on your health, as you’re required to sit and type all day. Carpal tunnel, joint pain, and blood clots are all possible complications from doing work like this. Health insurance is consequently a must, and they don’t offer any except to the most senior employees.

Thank you for your feedback. We try to make the job appealing and rewarding for those who do want to work here. Although we hope everyone we hire likes it hire we realize this job is not for everyone. We have recently reduced our hiring with an increased focus on our more experienced employees. Although we can't please everyone, we are grateful to all of our long-term employees and see that average employee tenure is at a high point compared to times past. Sorry that it didn't work out for you, and good luck in your next endeavor.

Pros

The hours are flexible. It’s great for students. You don’t have to get to know coworkers if you’re not sociable. You can do the job and leave.

Cons

It’s difficult to transcribe fast enough to break into the next level of pay. The X-Factor they use is unknowable.
