Great company, better than average pay, good

benefits.  The account that they are hiring for is a very challenging, high volume ESL account.  Some people do okay on it, others just aren't able to do the work.   The platform is Lotus Notes, but basically you type in Word, use SpeedType (same as ShortHand).  They provide all hardware/software.  They are pretty strict on schedule, not much leeway, though if you need off for an appointment there isn't a problem.  QA is strict, minimum QA score is 98.5, 1200 lines/day.  Good tech support.  You get your QA'd reports back daily.  Lately there has been a lot of OT on the weekends.

They are making a transition to something similar to VR.  They are starting out slow with one account, one work type, but within a year hope to transition more accounts. 

They pay for downtime.  Pay is DD, always on time and correct.

incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time.  The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus.  I have been there since October and am very happy.  Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.

Good luck! 

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.

Hope this helps.

Send out checks the next business day after they receive the bill.  Only work when you want.  It's a nice p.r.n. position.

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 

I use to work there.  The dictators on my account were really good.  They use Emdat/Inscribe.  Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.

Axolotl is a WONDERFUL company with great benefits and competitive pay.  We have maybe 100 MTs but are growing rapidly.

Which accounts are you working?  Do you like them?  Are you making alot of money?  Does Hils pay on time, every time? 

Thanks

The thing with eTransPlus was not a good fit for me either.  I think it is probably a good company, it just didn't work for me as my start date kept getting pushed back, I was running out of work, there were program glitches, etc.  Sometimes some things are just not meant to be.  I hope you get on with Keystrokes again.  I know it sounds kind of gushy, but I have found them to be truly wonderful people.  I don't need someone to constantly sing my praises or anything -- decent pay and plenty of work is enough -- but it is kind of nice to hear thank you every now and then, and know that if you have a problem arise, someone will listen and try to help you. 

Again, thanks for posting -- great to hear from you!  Good luck! 

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 

I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 

There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments
