They offshore, but they don't want you to know that.

I have interviews for an Acute Care MT position (employee, not IC) with both Axolotl and Webmedx and would like some CURRENT feedback before I make a decision.  Have been an Acute Care MT for over 30 years and want to “plant” myself at my LAST job before retirement.    Getting too old to keep going through these testing/interview processes.  

I have researched both Axolotl and Webmedx and to no surprise the poster either hates 'em or loves 'em.  It seems like both companies have gone through some major changes during 2006 and plan more changes in the future – good or bad – depending on who is replying.  From preliminary information, they seem to be comparable in pay, both provide the computer, insurance is reasonable at both, and other benefits are close to identical, which is making it hard for me to swing one way or the other without more information. 

I would really appreciate either a post or E-Mail from CURRENT (or newly former) employees of Axolotl and Webmedx with their opinion as to if they feel reasonably confident they can continue to make a comfortable living over the next few years (or at least not have drastic downward changes in their future incomes), where they think their employers are going in the future, if they are comfortable with the direction they are taking (job security), and if they think they will still be working for the company in say 5 to 10 years (or at least plan to, baring unforeseen circumstances).   Any information you care to share on ESL and achieving/maintaining minimum lines per pay period would also be helpful.   Any other information you would care to share would also be greatly appreciated in my attempt to decide the PROS and CONS of these two companies.   

Needless to say, I would love to hear any negatives in case I need to go in a totally different direction.    Any former employees who would care to share why they left would be very insightful too.   

Any information you have will certainly help in my decision making.  Thank you in advance.

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

Hi,

Does anyone have any info on a company called Axolotl? I'd like to know how flexible they are (12-hour window?), what they pay is like, and are they a friendly staff.

Thanks in advance.

WanderingMT, I don't know where you get there is a high turnover.  I have worked there for 2 years and the only turnover I know of are the people who cannot maintain their Quality.  Axolotl is known for hiring the best of the best MTs and also being quality driven.  If an MT cannot produce quality documents, then they are not going to make it at Axolotl.  Also, WanderingMT, are you not the one who has posted that you could not even pass the preemployment testing??

As far as their accounts, they have accounts nationwide.  Also, Axolotl does NOT overstaff and just because there are only 75 MTs, does not mean that we run out of work.  LOL  It is actually the total OPPOSITE. 

As far as making line counts, I was up to 1200 lines in a week after hiring.  If you are a disciplined MT, making your line counts will not be an issue.  The platform is very user-friendly and much better than any other company I have worked for.

I hope this helps Hubba!!!  You really cannot go wrong in looking at them.  If you need more info, feel free in e-mailing me!!!!

Sent resume over the weekend.  Curious about pay, how many PTO days, any bonus incentives?  Thanks for any info you can provide!

All this really great PR for Axolotl motivated me to check out their website and I am going to apply on line.  I am all for great QA and 98.5% accuracy.  I don't consider myself run-of-the-mill as the original poster considers herself--I think I would do well at Axolotl from what I have read on here. 

Some important things were not mentioned on their website or in these postings:

-  ESL ?  Where I work now, I have a preoponderance of ESL dictators and other difficult dictators. I also sometimes deal with up to 10 different sets of style guidelines for 10 different clients in the space of a single shift.   In general, what is the composition of the workload ?

- Pay scale:  For transcription by the line ?  For voice rec editing by the line ?  Is QA paid by the line or by the hour ?

-  Are they sending work to India  ?  If so, how is this impacting your workload ?  Do you have enough work or do you often run out ?

Thanks for any info you can provide,

Anyone have any comments on DSG? Looking for current info. How long does it usually take them to get back to you when you send in a resume? I know I've sent one to them a few times before but never heard anything back at all, even whether they got it or I wasn't acceptable or what. Just wondered if it was worth it to try try again...TIA!

I have searched through the archives and most of the info posted is old.  Could anyone please give me any info on the following companies???  (Not just bad info...good and bad would be appreciated!) 

American Transcription Solutions, Inc. or ATSI

Transcription, Technology and Support or TTS (pay seems low)

SoftScript

Axolotl  (I have read nothing but WONDERFUL things about this company!)

I have offers from these companies and I do not want to jump around anymore.  I want to get in with a good company and stay there.   Thanks in advance!!!

I would like current info please.....not archived junk......thanks

mostly -- are the lines an absolute bear to get; i.e., will I have to work 12 hours a day to get 1000 lines?  Or do they seem fairly fair won?

Thanks
