Pros

Flexible scheduling, good potential for fast typists and those who can maximize shortcuts.

Cons

Minimum production goals a bit high for most average typists to maintain. At only 20 hours a week, I started flaring with carpal tunnel way before hitting their minimum production goals to start receiving raises. Some indication it has changed since then, but they also provided very little leeway for shift break / lunch breaks - if going to the bathroom took longer than 5 minutes, you were automatically clocked out for a 15-minute time period, having to then work longer to cover your minimum work time agreed to that day.

Thank you for your honest feedback! We are pleased to see that you enjoyed our unparalleled flexibility during your time working in our Tallahassee office, and that you recognized the potential for increased pay for those who improve their stats. I'm sorry to hear that you were suffering from carpal tunnel symptoms that may have kept you from being able to hit production. That can happen, and this job certainly is not for everyone. We try to offer advice on how to balance out adequate speed and physical comfort via taking enough breaks, ergonomical equipment, and using the most macros you can. I am also pleased to tell you that the Tallahassee office has recently rolled out changes to the break policy to make it much more flexible for everyone. Should you be interested in resuming scribe work in the future, the management team there will happily fill you in on the new and improved break system! Thank you again for the time you spent with us and for your helpful review. We wish you all the best with your future endeavors!

Pros

Very flexible schedule, relaxed work environment (no dress code), competitive pay scale depending on your skill and progression

Cons

General scribe work is extremely monotonous and repetitive. Most jobs cover the same exact topics (stocks, insurance, retirement, etc.)

Pros

Casual dress code and atmosphere. The job itself was ok.

Cons

Zero integrity. Do not care about (most of) the employees. Unprofessional and unfair (there is a clearly established pecking order and favoritism.) Rather than being awarded for your service and loyalty as time goes by, your benefits get taken away.
