Tons of work
I don't know what account other poster is on but she should probably check with her supervisor about the no work issue--that doesn't sound like Amphion.
The account I'm on is never out of work and it is always available to work on, overtime included. I love Amphion and have been at several different companies.
Amphion gives me the freedom to do my work and keeps me in work but they don't bug me to death about work. They go above and beyond to create macros, request software changes that get approved for MTs to use to make our jobs easier. I get employee benefits including retirement and PTO and I couldn't be happier. I'm also not bombarded with emails all day like I was at TRS a few years ago. The supervisors and QA are great! I was not sure when I started because I was skeptical from past jobs, so I started part-time and kept my other full-time MT job, then made the switch to full-time with Amphion after a few months and I am so glad I did.
If anyone remembers Omnimed from a few years back, they are now back as Amphion. You really have to just give it a shot to see if they're a good fit. 
I have tons of work.. I can't see how you can say that.
What account are you on?
Tons of work currently
Hmmm, I have not had this problem at Amphion. We have been doing overtime for a long time now, sometimes mandatory, sometimes optional. I have by no means ran out of work. I just wanted to give another opinion. I'm very happy working there and would recommend them. 
I have always had tons of work..SM
I would e-mail Lee directly if you are running out of work on you account. She is VERY nice and more than willing to help out. She will put you on a new account, or give you a backup in a heartbeat. She has done it for me and many other people.
I have tons of work...

Same here. TONS of work. Never run out
They are always asking for extra help, and I'm always glad to give it! I have never even ever come close to running out of work the year I have been there.
We have tons of work!
The account that I am lead on has tons of work. I personally don't use the insurance since I have it through my husband's job, but we did recently get a new policy that I heard was great.
If you want tons of work at MDI
ask for a Lanier account. There is always a ton of work and I have never run out. Plus of which, I love the account!
Still around and tons of work
I have been with Meridian for 4-1/2 years. I haven't had a slow period or run out of work in the last year and a half. Love it there. contact me if you want more info.
You are right. I have tons of work..and no VR
nm
Low no work? There are tons of ads

think about it
Tons and tons of stuff in the archives. nm
I make 10 with FutureNet, tons of work...NM

Go to the Seeker's page from start of Jan. On 1/4, about 1/2 way down, ad for Tons of Work is

Try TransTech instead. FABULOUS company and TONS of work!
:)
I also lost hospital job and have tons of clinic work
Hospitals can afford the software, clinics cannot.... It will be a long time before any of these clinics can afford the software especially when the health insurance providers refuse to reimburse for services rendered like they should... When I say clinic, I mean private practice....
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Tons of work on Enterprise. Should be last frustrating. Good luck. nm

I love it there. Tons of work, great people. I am 100% happy.

Axolotl - anyone ever had a very hard time making ..... SM
the required line count per day? I have been plenty long enough to be making the line count all the time, but for some reason, I have never quite gotten there - at least consistently. Now, I am not the fastest MT anymore, but I have always been able to do more than a minimum such as 1200 lpd. I like the company (not the accounts so much, though), but this has made me seriously doubt my ability to produce. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and then left and did better line-wise,,,,if so, where? TIA.
Keystrokes....very flexible, tons of work, great leads, good pay...
I love it there...
Does Axolotl require 40 hours for full time
Also, what is the average most MTs type in a pay period? I know 12,000 is the minimum, but is it possible to type quite a bit more than that with their platform? THANKS!
Where do YOU work? I want tons of work...
Seriously, where do you work, if you don't mind sharing???
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
Anyone work for Axolotl?
I am interested to find out what people who work for them think. All feedback is appreciated
Axolotl more than enough work
We are definitely not slow. We have had OT offered to us for the past few months and the OT is still being offered. We might be a smaller company but that does not mean anything. We have several acute care accounts and some of them are very large.
The benefits package is much better than any company I have seen advertised. The health, dental and vision insurance is also cheaper than any company that has been advertised.
No, I work for Axolotl, thus the A. The MTs are
referred to as team - thus A-Team.
To those who work for Axolotl
Would anyone be willing to share how much they pay for down time? I was just wondering because the account I work on now is very flexible and just thought that I could work on it while waiting for work from the company and being paid for the time to boot. Maybe I'm living in a dream world. 
TIA!
Axolotl does have work
There has been OT offered the last two weekends, ALL weekend. Work might dwindle through the week when there is everyone working as most MTs work days.
The account that pulled one of their worktypes is sending more work in other worktypes to compensate. Plus, one of the other accounts has given Axolotl all of their work, which has also added to the workload.
If anyone has noticed, there have also been new clinic accounts which have started recently. So, the NO WORK story just isn't true and if one does run out of work, you get a pretty good line rate to compensate for your downtime. Can't people be positive about anything??
Change your work schedule if you are running out of work and you don't want to claim your downtime or make it up on the weekends when there is plenty of work!!
I don't work for Axolotl sm
But I am an MT, and I was simply pointing out to the other poster that she might consider some other type of employment that does not require grammar skills. Her posts are riddled with mistakes, both grammatical and spelling errors. Sometimes we aren't suited to a job and need to look elsewhere, sometimes in another field altogether. No need to get so nasty about it. 
I work at Axolotl and have found them to not
attitude is reflective of that. Why not be kind to your fellow MT who is having trouble with the changes? Why not offer to help via private email rather than acting smug. This person is your coworker, remember? A company can have a load of benefits, but that is only a teeny tiny part of a picture of a company. Some of us want a lot more than just good benefits. Especially in a small company, things could be a lot more friendly, one would think. I don't want any new BFs, but a bit of kindness or camaraderie would sure help. You get more with sugar than with spice, especially when spice isn't even part of the recipe.
Anyone work at Axolotl? Pros and cons, please.nm

Anyone work for Axolotl? Curious as to cpl & benefits
I've been an MT for 15 years with local clinics & am looking nationally now. Any info would be great....cpl range, insurance costs, PTO, etc. Thanks!
I work for Axolotl and you really hit the nail on the head.
They are a great company. I have been there 2 years and I have never worked for a better employer in 14 years of transcribing. Management and editors are wonderful to work for. They treat us with respect. Even high management is very nice to us. We do get a card and Christmas gift every year. I remember one time I got a $25 gift card with a thank you note. I assumed it was working extra when they asked. They pay us for our experience. The platform is great and easy to use. They offer good, affordable insurance. I could go on and on.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Specifically, Axolotl has been low on work since the first of September .... SM
when they lost a huge account. It affected me and several other people. However, I have moved on so I don't know about recent developments. I wonder how long they will continue to pay downtime instead of laying off.
To: "I don't work for Axolotl." Give me a break...sm
The post you took the time to critique may be been riddled with typos, but your's is riddled with ignorance. This is a message board, dear. What an MT posts here can hardly be compared to the confidential legal documents in a patient's permanent medical record. To come here and judge a person's qualifications and skill set based on a few statements quickly jotted down in a post is not only unwarranted, but arrogant, asinine, etc. I'm so tired of seeing professional MTs being picked apart because of a few typos on a public forum. I know this doesn't happen on other message boards. Why here??
I don't take the time to proofread the random phrases I post here like I do with the reports I transcribe. I seriously doubt many others do either.
This site is by far the most negative forum on the web. Inflammatory, negative remarks don't add to the conversation or benefit any of us. Frankly, I'm tired of reading them.
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
Anyone work for Axolotl in Mountain View? (see mssg)
If so, what are the pros and cons? What is starting pay? Good accounts? Flexibility? How long in business? Large or small company? etc.....
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
Full time but no work half the time-nm

Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, but there is play time and there is work time. sm
You volunteer. Awesome!! As long as you are volunteering during nonwork time that is great or during time that you have scheduled to be off. Again all great!!! We all have to take off with our kids when they are sick. Did it today as I had both at home and took PTO time for it. If you do these things in this manner, no big deal, but I am talking about the ones who constantly do not showw up for work and have excuses as there are more of them than there are of people who actualy take this job seriously.
As far as retirment from the other poster.... please. I am nowhere even close but I can say the downfall of this business is NOT because it is going overseas. It is because we do not have well trained American MTs. I have been here for 18 years. I have watched it go down. It is sad but we can't change it YET!
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
