Allegis Transcription Reviews

Pros

Okay not so bad for learning.

Cons

Okay so far so good my friend.

Pros

*Job availability. *Simple interfaces. *Simple payroll.

Cons

*Pay to job complexity/volume scale. *Penalization for inability to finish a file on time with no ability to request extensions. *Lack of valuable resources. *Minimum weekly time commitment in contract with bare-bones flexibility. *Stifled inter-departmental communication. *Pay does not reflecting having to be your own proofreader and editor.

Pros

You're able to work anywhere and the communication is top tier. Building my own schedule was a huge perk too!

Cons

The tough part of every remote job is not having any coworkers/ relationships to interact with during the day. Sitting so much was hard on my body as well.

Pros

As an IC I was able to work when I wanted to. No set schedule, as long as you meet their minimum page count, you are good. I maintained this as my full-time job for 5 years. Pass weeks for holidays and when you need time off. Weekly pay is great and always on time. You are responsible for your own taxes. Work was available all hours of day. You can split your time as you wish and have all week to get your pages in. You can end your contract when needed, as well as they can. You are not locked in to a set timeframe of working with their contract. It's a confidentiality contract. The staff is very helpful as well as other ICs working there with their private FB page.

Cons

When workin to higher tiers you may experience work holds, having another account helps if this is your full-time job until you make it to a higher tier. No real cons, just advice for those coming from employee status to IC for first time, you need to remember you do not get perks as an employee. You need to remember that and not expect it. You are your on boss and you do quality work for them.

Pros

Able to work from home

Cons

Pay is never timely, over-hiring, work availability fluctuates

Pros

They have a decent online portal for downloading and submitting work.

Cons

There are work hold periods, which can be devastating financially if you need to hit a certain quota of paid work every week to make ends meet.

Pros

Flexibility of scheduling and potential

Cons

Frequent Work Hold and challenging audio quality

Pros

Work remote. Work your own, flexible hours each week. Choose the length of jobs you wish to transcribe throughout the day.

Cons

Pay is for production, not hourly. You will quickly plateau with your production speed.

Pros

Flexible schedule, easy work schedule

Cons

can be bad audio, not compensated for it.

Pros

I love the flexibility of Allegis. I also love that I am not "assigned" files, as I was with the other companies I've worked with. I log on to whichever queue I'm assigned to for that week, and I get to choose the files I want to work on. If I'm pressed for time, I choose a short audio file. If I have all day, I'll choose a longer audio file to get more page count. They are always looking for ways to make our lives easier, and have programs where you are rewarded monetarily for your work when you go over and above. While it is true that some of the files are not that great, this is not the fault of Allegis, but rather the fault of the company submitting the audio. But I have to say that in all the companies I have worked for as an IC, these audios are by far better percentage wise than any other company I have worked for. I've seen some reviews on here that say "just about all of the audios are bad," and that is just not true. As with any work at home opportunity for transcriptionists, you will get bad files from time to time, and sometimes all of your files for the day will be not that great. But that is not the norm. If you are looking for a great company to work for as an IC, then this is the one!

Cons

There are no cons for me
