Sacramento Calif Transcribers
Any medical transcriptionists out there who live in Sacramento, CA. I am in So Cal. I applied for a job with the state (prison system) as a transcriber. I was being considered for the job, but they just recently sent me a letter stating that all the transcription is now going to be centralized in Sacramento. So, if you are in Sacramento, and you are looking for a job with the state you might want to check that out. (Unless of course Arnold cuts it all together because of the budget)

Re: Axolotl: Do they hire for QA within company or....sm
can someone apply there for it. Looking for PT MT/PT QA. Any info appreciated...............
The company's name is Axolotl not Axoloti
They are sticklers about each and every word being correct, so I would imagine they would expect any future employee to spell their name correctly.
Depends on the company, but with Axolotl
there is no freedom in the schedule. If you are scheduled to work 9 to 5, you work 9 to 5. Can fudge 15 minutes either way without an issue, as long as you are getting your lines.
Can anyone comment on the software that Chronicle in Calif. uses and the ESL ratio? nm

Axolotl is a wonderful company but not sure if hiring. SM
You are welcome to email me if you want. Good luck 
I thought this was regarding a company
My thought too which is why I did a check on the company
and apparently the company does some transcription. I also have a watch on my credit report, etc., so will know if I am a victim of identity theft. I will know where to start looking!!
Thought of it, tried it and STILL needed QA. We are not a big company so we do not have the resourc
nationals do in terms of recruiting, benefits, etc. We have to QA because it seems everyone just tries to make good lines not good quality.
and all this time I thought they were a decent company!
Guess I was wrong! I almost accepted a position with them 6 months ago when I was changing companies, but ended up accepting a position with another company instead. Now I'm glad I did! I definitely would not want to be a part of a company that treats their MTs this poorly! I hope that this MTs sues them for all that they are worth! What they did is totally illegal!
So, Yes, they were once OmniMed, meaning the same people. Thought so! BAD company! x

I hear you. I just tested for what I thought was a decent company....
After a ridiculously involved screening, passing all, and with more than 10 years exp, I was offered 7.5 to do operative reports! (and did I mention I also said I could work weekends!) Are they kidding?!?!
Actually, I thought advertisers on the job board had to disclose the name of the company, but
maybe I am mistaken.

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.

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 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.

Health insurance begins 30 days after you start working.

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.

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??
