-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.
the timing system they used was kind of wack in my opinion, made it really hard to make sure your hours balanced out if you, for example, ended up in the bathroom for more than a minute. not intuitive at all.
