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.

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 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.
Axolotl has tons of work, pay for down time,
great benefits, very affordable insurance, they provide all equipment, paid training. E-mail me if you have any specific questions.
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.
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.....

Love that lizard.
Axolotl
When did you apply? Was it this year - just curious before I answer their advertisement.
Axolotl
Does anyone know anything about this company... How they pay??? Anything in general would be helpful... Thanks
Axolotl
I cannot believe that they are still in business. I know that they have an office in Tampa. Not sure how they are doing. Keep doing your research/investigation on this company.

Anyone have any info on co.? Considering applying for Editor position. Do they supply equipment? good benefits? Any info would be appreciated.
Anyone know about Axolotl QA?

Any info on this company, any feed back please.

When I worked for them a year ago, their typing platform was slooooooooooooow. I am a very fast typist, and I very seldom could reach my line count with them. I had to wait 3 minutes or more (depending on the length of the report)for a report to send to the hospital, and could not start a new report until that one was sent. Spent a lot of time playing Solitaire on my computer. If you are fast, you will be extremely frustrated.
Axolotl
Anyone ever hear of this company? I am considering and any information appreciated
Thanks
Axolotl
Any info please? It seems like recently with in the last month or so I read posts by an MT that just started with them and thought things were going great, as far as the system, staff, work, etc. Anyone please any info? Thank you.
Axolotl
Health insurance begins 30 days after you start working.
Axolotl
I have two friends that recently went with this company in the past month and they really like it. They have been offering OT every day so there is plenty of work
Axolotl
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.
axolotl
The management staff is very friendly. Horrible accounts with the world's worst ESLs. The percentage of ESLs was so high, I highly suspect cherry-picking. Made less than minimum wage trying to decipher this garbage, with nearly 15 years of experience. Editors who don't know the difference between affect and effect, yet deign to pick apart your work and leave snide comments. Is that enough info?
I also would like to know about Axolotl, please.....sm
I had an interview and would like to know more about this company, before I make a decision. I see there really are no recent posts regarding this company. Any recent information would be ever so helpful with my decision. Is the platform slow, how are the incentives, benefits, communication between employees and management, etc.? Thank you.
Axolotl
I've never worked for them, but have a friend that is starting with them this next week. When I get info from her, I will post it here on the board. I know they pay a referral bonus if you refer someone and then they are hired. That's always a plus. She did say that the pay was above average and more than she is making now which is .11 cpl on an onc account.
Axolotl
Nasty!!!!
Axolotl
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.
It's Axolotl - nm

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
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 anybody have any information about this company. I was checking out their website, and it didn't seem too bad. Is there anybody working for them who can tell us a little about the company such as their line count requirement, is it comparable to MQ, and what they think of this company, etc. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Axolotl
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.
Axolotl MT
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.
Axolotl?????
Does anyone know if Axolotl is strictly IC work?
Axolotl
Actually, I think they only hire employees.
Axolotl
Did you send your resume in and they called you...is that what your saying??
axolotl
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!!!
Axolotl
Can someone tell me if they are or are not currently hiring??
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.
axolotl
What does it mean to be a Tier 3?
Axolotl
Yes, they do start really quickly. If you start on the last day of the month, the insurance will go into effect the very next day. So, if you start at the beginning of the month, the insurance will start the next month. Very affordable too.
Axolotl is only $110 per day for
Health, dental and vision.
Axolotl - Do they have ASR?

Axolotl
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.
Axolotl....do they
pay for headings, demos, and spaces?
