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.

I am interested to find out what people who work for them think.  All feedback is appreciated

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! 

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!!

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.

If so, what are the pros and cons?  What is starting pay?  Good accounts?  Flexibility?  How long in business?  Large or small company?  etc.....

Anyone ever hear of this company?  I am considering and any information appreciated

Thanks

Any Axolotl employees out there??  Are you happy? 

I am considering accepting an offer from them.  It seems they have a lot to offer.   I am currently with Medware and very, very unhappy with them lately. 

Any advice appreciated.

The company is fully aware of what it means.  If you go to the website, you will see. 

When I hired on, they actually sent me a salamander on a keyring!!  Their name is different because they, as a company, are different than any other!! 

I have transcribed now for 14 years and trust me, I have never had a better employer. 

Their benefits are awesome, their pay is more than competitive and I cannot think of one thing negative about them. 

MT25, I've also heard good things about this company.  Could you tell me what Lotus Notes are?  I am thinking about applying with them.  How would you rate the majority of accounts?  Hard to make lines with difficult dictators?  Do you transcribe for several docs or just a select few?  Thanks!

Axolotl expects quality and reliable MTs.  Due to the fact, they do not overstaff, it is IMPERATIVE, everyone be there for their scheduled shifts.  They provide OUTSTANDING and affordable benefits, as well as more than competitive pay. 

If you meet the above standards as an MT, then you should apply.  If you don't meet these standards, then you need to find a company who doesn't expect you to produce quality documents and to show up for your shift. 

I have been an MT for 13 years.  Axolotl is better than any company I have ever researched or any employer I have worked for.

If you are looking for former employees who did not meet the above standards, I am sure you can find them.

Does anyone know if Axolotl is hiring?  Everything I'm hearing about them sound really good.  My only concern is that someone posted they only have about 75 employees (kinda small), and if they hire more MTs, the workflow may be low...hmmm.

I wanted to thank you for all the information.  I am seriously considering applying.  So far, this one appeals the most to me.  I am still trying to decide if I want to make the move; this is something I take very seriously.  It has just been so difficult to make the money at MQ with all the changes; it almost seems intentional on their part to make it more difficult for the MTs so that they don't have to pay out these quarterly bonuses.  I could see having 3 or 4 accounts....that would be ideal, but 13 unfamiliar accounts with specifics to learn for each.....this, I find to be outrageous!!!  With all of this going on, they are driving their MTs (even the veteran MTs) right out the door!  BIG MISTAKE.

Did you send your resume in and they called you...is that what your saying??

I have never worked for Transcend but I have worked for Axolotl now for 2 years.  They are a great company with a good line rate, great benefits and a very user-friendly platform.  In my opinion, you cannot go wrong working for Axolotl!!!

It's just what I'm looking for.  Heard a lot of great things about it.  Nice people, etc. Lots of positives!!!!  Sounds like a place to call home.

Health, dental and vision.

As far as your work schedule and hours, you are expected to work the schedule and hours you agree to work when you are hired.  If something comes up, they are really good about working with you.  I work a 35-hour week.  I don't know if that has changed or not as I have been there 2+ years.  The line minimum is the same and is 1200 per day for 35 or 40 hours.

I feel we have the best QA/editing team!!  You are never degraded or talked nasty to and there is always someone available 24/7. 

When you first start, 100% of your work will be going to QA.  Then, there is a 3% review of your work monthly.  The system automatically/randomly pulls the reports. 

Axolotl is known for their quality.  If a percentage of the MTs work is not checked, then there is no way of knowing what kind of document the MTs are producing. 

I know several knew people that have been hired, a few I have referred myself.  They love it at Axolotl and cannot believe how great of a company Axolotl really is.
