Was this company out of St Louis. Wondering if it is the one I know.

the growing company?
see details inside, only provides an email response.
This company definitely belongs on the growing
Is there any way to get documentation of what, exactly, the 'misconduct' was? It sounds like they're not only being untruthful, they're also being spiteful and vindictive, just because you couldn't meet what was probably an unrealistic daily line minumum on crappy accounts, using substandard software.
Definitely growth. The company has been growing steadily...sm
for the past few years. Good platform, steady pay (direct deposit, have never experienced a late paycheck), good MT support, great bennies. I'm happy there.
Company has been steadily growing, great bennies,...
I've never had a late paycheck. Pay is very competetive, PTO, holiday pay etc. I believe there is more than one platform on which to transcribe - depending upon the account. I work on the main platform - not glitchy for me. No problems reaching my line count. I'm quite content there, no plans on leaving.
For every single company out there, you'll find happy employees and not happy ex-employees. Deciding on an employer is a hard decision to make. Good luck with your choice, no matter what it ends up being.
It depends how fast they are growing. I worked for a company in New York that sm
had 5 new accounts start, 1 a month for 5 months, that were all very large and needed 20+ MTs. They are now a larger company and do not constantly need new MTs, but I think it is unfair to judge a company by how many people it is hiring. I think it would be interested to find out how many are new positions and how many are due to MTs leaving and why they left.
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Global Transcription
So I'm confused - was the guy from Global or do you like Global?
Was this formerly Elite Global Transcription?nm

Would that be GTN. Global Transcription Network?
Global Transcription Services
Can anyone tell me about anything about this company? Thanks!
Global Transcription Services?
Anyone ever work for or heard anything about Global Transcription Services? I believe they are not the same as Global Transcription Network.
Just wanting to get some background on this company. Thanks!
Global Transcription Solutions
Can someone who works with them, or has in the past, tell me what they are like to work for now? I've heard mixed reviews maybe two years ago and was wondering what they are like now that they have absorbed a couple of other smaller companies. Do they pay fairly, correctly and on time, plenty of work, decent QA, responsive to questions when/if you have them, plus anything else you can tell me. Thank you in advance.
Global Transcription Network
Does anyone have any information about Global Transcription Network out of Texas? Thanks.
Global Transcription Network and Precyse??
Any information would be helpful, you know all the usual questions, i.e. platform, pay, people, etc.
 Thanks

anyone else have slowing down of work after the holidays?
Seems slow after holidays.
Must be a small company
It is a small company. Sorry if you're not impressed with my work. It works for me. I could do over 1,000 if I wanted to, but this suits me. I have another part time job that supplies me with income also.
Not MDI-MD - they are a small company

small company
has anyone ever left a national company to work for a small company? just wondering if its a good choice to make.
A small company usually can't
afford to lose the people they have, so you might want to speak to your manager about this and see what, if anything, can be done. It can be as easy as removing the MT's ability to reject the jobs they don't want to do. Great way to kill morale.
Small company GREAT COMPANY
Axolotl is a WONDERFUL company with great benefits and competitive pay. We have maybe 100 MTs but are growing rapidly.
Same at small company in Ohio sm
I worked for. Owner did all the easy and templated work. I almost went broke working for them. Only paid 8 cpl and have awful accounts. You'd be lucky to get over $400 a week there. Expects people to work 15 to 18 hour days and both weekend days too.
Medtrans the best. Small company sm
but very professional, and pay is excellent & on time. Pay is by the minute or gross line - depends what account you are on.
Even if it is a legitimage company it is a small
company if they can't cover payroll. Your bank isn't going to wait for your mortgage payment until you get paid and I think the majority of us work for the money, not just to give us something to do with our spare time. Too big of a risk to take.
I work as an IC for a small company and
I have worked for nationals and always hated having hundreds of different doctors and all the different account specifics, and above all searching for the demographics that I didn't get paid for. Now I download from a FTP site, transcribe in Word and send it back within 24 to 48 hours (depending on the account). I currently have 3 different doctors that I am very comfortable with and can breeze through. I have no regrets about leaving the big nationals.
Big is Spheris, small is a company SM
with less than 10 accounts, mostly local to the company.
I also work as an IC for a small company
(without a contract too, so you are not alone, but working for me also). I just let my company know when I will be gone with plenty of notice (at least one month ahead of time), especially if I will be gone for an extended period such as a week or longer. Have never had any problems.
For a small company in NJ, not hiring right now though.

Not many posts cause small company
You didn't say if you interviewed for acute care or clinic. There is not much chatter on this board because Axolotl is a small company. About 20 to 25 acute care and 20 to 25 clinic MTs.
Your questions:
Platform: can be slow depending on your accounts
Incentives: none to speak of besides overtime
Benefits: comparable to good. Depends on what you need
Communication: Average
Flexibility: If you comit to working 7 am to 3 pm you better be there are 7 am. If you don't call in they might call you to find out where you are because they are so small and need everyone to be there when they say because of turn around time. No timeclock to speak of so you can work as long as you want to get in your 1200 lines per day if there is work. When there is no work you have to leave after your shift even if you have not gotten your minimum lines in.
ESL: If you are acute care you could get stuck on a couple of really nasty ESL accounts where you can go for several days getting mostly ESL and not enough others to average out the lines. So if you are not real strong and love to do ESL getting lines in may be a problem during an 8 hour shift even after several months.
Like any company everyone's experience is different. What is great for one may be a disaster for another. I have been with them less than 9 months and there seem to have been quite a few MTs whose names seem to suddenly disappear so it seems like Axolotl may not have been a good fit for those MTs.
If you have other specific questions, you can E-Mail me.
Good luck in whatever you decide. 
I'm trying to find out a company name. It is a small,
I think just an owner and IT person, company in Wyoming, I believe. I can't remember the name of the company. They offered me a position and I turned them down, but I need to make a list of all the companies I've turned down as many of them continue to contact me and I want to be able to say no right away instead of going through the interview again because I forgot. I know there is a company in Cody, WY, but I don't think that is them. They were extremely disorganized.
Anyone have a clue who is may be? I know I haven't given much info to work with.
Should I go from national to small company?
Hello. I am sure many have asked this same thing before, just looking for a rooting section to feel better about this. I currently work for a national. With many changes, not feeling like a person, production sinking, morale gone, on and on and on... I decided to seek PT position with a smaller company. So, I found a second company. They are small, but growing. The director is a former MT. They currently have about 100 MTs. The pay is very standard at 8 cents. Their platform is slowing me down a bit, but they say they are working on upgradiing it. Their communication and personal attention to me has been excellent. I have 1 dictator. I see what work is coming in and have 20 hours to get it done.
Is the small company too good to be true? Being burnt from national, I am finding it hard to grasp that this really could be this good. sure, the pay isn't as great..it is an IC position, rather than employee...but I am not stuck with God knows what work, changing all the time...and I am heard and appreciated.
Do I just bite the bullet and transition the small company into full-time and do the national PT? Any comments, suggestions, etc would be appreciated!
Very small company in Florida.
There are only a handfull of us working for this company and so when other MTs cherrypick, it really affects the rest of us. I am constantly stuck working all the difficult doctors and trying to get the reports from going out of TAT while other MTs cherrypick the good doctors, even though their reports are no where near TAT.
This just started recently so I don't know if it is someone they just hired or not, but I am tired of it already. Since this has started happening, I have seen my pay drop as I can't get the same lines I could before with a mix of doctors. Now I regularly transcribe for the same three docs that no one wants to do and I am losing about $4 an hour. I am so tempted to just start cherrypicking myself, but that is not in my nature. I play by the rules, and I am getting dinged for it. Since my account manager could care less, I am looking elsewhere, which will be hard as I really love this account and the flexibility it provides, but I can't afford the loss in pay.
I agree on the small company.
I was my happiest when I was with a small company, but then they were acquired by a larger company and so I left. I guess that's the point I was trying to make. Working for a smaller American-owned MT company that doesn't overhire is a hard job to find simply because they don't overhire. The MTs at that company don't want to leave. The problem comes arises when a lot of larger companies pull the tactics mentioned before and then there are many, many MTs doing what you said...looking for another company. That doesn't leave many smaller companies to chose from because most aren't hiring. I think that's where the problem comes in with a lot of people being frustrated with going from company to company only to end up in the same boat a few years (or less) later. There definitely is a downward trend in this field. Some are fortunate to have the good jobs, but it's not the norm anymore like it used to be.
I work for a small company and
some of the clients have actually threatened to go with the larger companies that offshore to get cheaper rates. I've had to take a pay cut in order to keep the account from going to India. The clients will go where they get the better deal. Many of us will take a pay cut because of the competition regardless of how big the company is. I don't think anywhere is safe. You have to work harder to make up for the cpl loss.
Superior global and Indian company
yes...they owe the Indian guy $90000 for working on some radiology account. Anyone approaching them, please be careful.
It also distorts the playback somewhat, but it's still useful for slowing down the speed demons.
