Because that sounds great!! I just graduated a Big 3 school. I will definitely check them out!!! Thank you!!  : )

I have several years experience working for a very prominent healthcare institution doing acute care, clinic, and hospital dictation in every specialty and subspecialty imaginable.  We were never assigned accounts, so my exposure to all of the specialties and dictation by hundreds of physicians at our institution was extensive throughout the years. 

Over two years ago I had to take employer-paid disability and have yet to return to work.  I have hope with my latest treatment that I will be able to return to work soon and have contacted my MT department head, but did not hear back.  Although my reviews were always exemplary, my attendance did suffer slightly prior to my taking disability.  I say slightly only because I still attempted to work a portion of each day even while ill and the actual amount of days absent was not that high; however, working at a healthcare institution our attendance requirements are necessarily strict.

If my department head is unwilling to take me back into the department, I don't know what I'll do.  I love MT, have great skills, am highly accurate, and don't want to give up on this career.  If worse comes to worse and a position will not be available for me when I return to work, do you think a national company would hire me with over a two-year lapse in my work record? 

Does anyone have any advice or ideas in this regard?  I desire to stay with my current employer, but don't want to leave medical transcription.  Thank you.

Anyone ever hear of this company?  I am considering and any information appreciated

Thanks

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 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. 

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 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 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.

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.

Did you send your resume in and they called you...is that what your saying??

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!!!
