I work for Axoltol and have in the past been offered
a position with TransTech. I read on the board that TT does not pay for spaces. I don't remember from my interview whether they do or not The money wasn't that great at TT so I turned it down.
At Axoltol (work there and still can't spell their name but it rhymes with bottle) line rate is 2 cpl what TT offered me. There aren't production bonues, but there is OT. Benefits are excellent. Insurance is very good and cheaper than any I've seen anywhere. My DH works for an extremely large company and even his insurance isn't as inexpensive. Insurance starts the first day of the month after you are hired, so if you were to start today insurance would start May 1. Vision insurance is free, as is long/short-term disability.
They are rigid about your schedule. You get to set it, but then they expect you to stick to it, though if you need to go to the doctor or something there isn't a problem getting off. You are expected to to 1200 lpd/12,000 lines per pay period. Some days I have trouble doing 1200, but I do extra another day. Platform is very easy. One of the things I like most it shows how much you make per report, how much you make per day, how much per pay period, etc. I like to see the numbers. I have a goal each month and it motivates me to see the numbers going up. They provide equipment (even flat screen monitor). Company is still small but growing. They don't offshore.
QA is great, you can see corrected report and also relisten. You don't get to see old reports from other MTs.
I was worried about being more regimented in my schedule, but it has actually helped me to have more time to do the things I want to do. Instead of working a bit here and there I sit and get it done. I'm not tied to my chair, I still take breaks.
Can you tell I love my job?
MTs have been offered 6 cpl in the past. Their ads have always asked for Cphones. 800 lpd is part

I believe there were posts in the past. (sm)
Check the archives. As I recall, it wasn't good!
Maybe these past posts will help --
I don't work for them but I was thinking about it and I remembered there was a lot of chatter about them within the last couple of months so I did a search of the MTStars Company Board cause I thought I remembered something that might be helpful to you. Until you get updated info from current or past employees maybe this will help.

Axolotl [2007-08-18]
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 employerI have worked for. If you are looking for former employees who did not meet the above standards, I am sure you can find them.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
There have been several posts about them the past
couple of weeks.
I have seen several posts over the past
few months (possibly by the same person) who talks about how great they pay. Someone posted the past week that they offered 8 cpl. That is not great pay by any stretch, especially with some of the crappy accounts they have.
Was offered 8-1/4 cpl for experience. They use MT World software. Didn't take the job. nm

ATSI uses MT-World software. Pay offered was low for experience. nm

Got offered 1.5 cent/line this past week....she said her editors tell her they make good $$....

There have been posts in the past about MT World and
they were all bad. I believed they offshored, don't know if they still do.
Do we have to go through THIS again?? Read past posts! .....nm

There have been some negative posts about them in the past. nm

Please, please, please....read past posts.
They should give you enough warning.
You may want to search for past posts (sm)
This has been discussed frequently in the past. I do not personally do this type of transcription, but I have seen posts generally anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 CPL. I am assuming that 5 cpl is a little above average. There are also others, I'm sure, who are making more. But definitely search for past posts, I think you will find more info there. 
There have been lots of posts in the past. Rather
than restate my experience if you will open your post and at the bottom click on related messages and you'll find lots of information.
Posts about them almost daily. Read through past
posts. They offshore. Communication horrible.

I have been there awhile. The good posts are because over the past few years sm
they have really worked hard to improve employee relationships and it has worked. There are no problems there anymore. They used to say they were growing pains and we all wondered how long they could say that. Now I am glad I stuck it out because all the old problems (and I mean old being over 2 years or more) are gone. Great company to work for.

If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.

In fact, they probably like that you do rather than ask for time off when the work load is heavy.
This is what i have done in the past.
I have called a facility and asked to speak to the director of medical records. I told them that I was interested in working on transcription for their facility and asked them the name of the company. They told me with no problem.

Sometimes it's just getting into the right place at the right time, but if you have already worked for a few places, I don't want to mention their names.

What did she say or do that was so rude and unprofessional?
Worked there in the past.
But frequently ran out of work. Finally had to leave.
Well, I worked for them in the past (sm)
and had trouble being paid. There has been info here over the past 3 years showing that it's still going on.
