Read on several boards that Axolotl can be great

Posted By: Huh? on 2008-08-04
In Reply to: Just curious - Are you a former QT Medical MT? sm - Axolotl2

but that there are some killer accounts, while others are great, and same with QA, some fair and some brutal.  I know I'd get stuck with both the killer account and killer QA.   Not a good combo for happiness or making money, just to me.

What you read on the boards is not always
the gospel truth.

If clocking in/out isn't for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it is a bad practice.

If I were a company accountable for employee hours, I'd make you clock in and out. Otherwise, you'd have to be an IC. Makes perfect sense to me.

You don't KNOW anything about Spheris if you haven't worked for them. You are only speculating with rumors.
If you would have read the boards here
you would have known that SPi is the WORST company you could have gone with.
Read the boards this week and it will tell you.
I'm not saying she has some valid points but MTSOs really need to be a little more refined. If she has things to say to someone say them privately not publicly. Most of the good MTs know all this and do not need an MTSO to blow off steam. I don't think the MTs need to be blowing off either but they are not an MTSO and the MTSO needs to preserve their image as professional.
Read the job boards and see what the companies

require as far as shift, equipment, etc.  Weed out the ones you may not have equipment for or that you don't want to work their shift or do lots of ESLs.   Read the archives on companies you might be interested in.  


There is no comparison list.  You just have to do your homework and investigate.  Maybe a good company to you is one that offers insurance, but a good company to someone else is lots of work and low ESLs. 


 


If you read the job boards they list
if IC or employee. 
Um, read the boards? Lots of negatives about them lately. nm

Post you resume on the various job boards, read the job
boards, Monster.com, CareerBuilders, etc. and respond to ads.  Typically training positions are opened to in-house people first, or in the case of my company the QA people train/mentor new employees. 
I read the boards from this week and still can't figure it out. What or who am I missing?
Inquiring minds need to know. LOL.
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!!! 
Axolotl MT -- take a deep breath and re-read . . .
Wandering MT's post. You were a little harsh. Why did you feel the need to rub it in her face that she didn't pass the preemployment test? I mean really, I'm sure that stings bad enough without you bringing it up again. I interviewed with Axolotl back August. They sounded great, but I decided to accept a job elsewhere.

Honestly if everyone there is as high and mighty as you come off, I'm glad I decided to go elsewhere!!
What is so great about Axolotl?
just curious..............
Axolotl GREAT INSURANCE, BC/BS
Axolotl carries BS/BC with very great rates and coverage!
Axolotl GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has a great insurance plan with very competitive prices. 
Axolotl GREAT INSURANCE, BC/BS
Single plan $52 up to $150 for family bimonthly.  They pay for vision.  Dental ranges from $3 to 13 bimonthly.
Thanks! Axolotl sounds great!
I just sent in my resume for Axolotl. They sound great. Just looking for steady work flow, dependable and accurate paycheck and a little bit of respect in turn for the same. Thanks again!
Does Axolotl have VR? They sound great. nm

Axolotl has great rates

 


We have several plans to choose from and it also depends on what state in which you reside.  For my family plan, my rates ranged from $100 twice a month to approximately $200 twice a month.  They have some high-tech plans  too but it was pretty outrageous.  The plans I am talking about have good/great coverage. This is the medical.  Dental ranges from $12 to $14 a pay period and they pay the vision insurance.


Axolotl has great affordable insurance!
Their rates are better than any MT company that I know of.
Axolotl insurance. They have great rates but what is the coverage
like?  Can anyone tell me what insurance company they use and what your experience has been?  TIA
A great 'read'

The Initiative site has a LINKS page; do yourselves a favor - go to the usmlsu dot org site, click on LINKS and read about your rights, the Social Security backpay a lot of you have coming because you never were truly ICs, and what the IRS has to say.


 


 


Thank you. That is a great, factual article. I hope the others read it.
nm
Thanks for your response! I have also read Beyondtxt is not as great as they make it seem.

Read that post below on hospitals? They're definitely good for great bennies! nm

Great post and very true! I read these today and was amazed that someone's first thought was pay
I agree that circumstances can make loans necessary but the OP sounded more like she uses these on a regular basis. No I'll have to learn to budget for the difference, just oh no, now I need to go to Payday Loans and pay 400% interest.

We have the potential to earn what we need to, although sometimes lately it is harder and harder.

Good for all of you. Wish I had seen these earlier.

p.s. Can someone call and tell my BIL to grow up too?
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

Can someone tell me some of the other job boards
Could someone tell me what some of the other job boards are? Thanks I've been with the same company a long time and never had to look before
look here and other job boards. sm.
I'm not sure if the sites can be mentioned here but if you search on this forum and do a search for MT jobs you'll have quite a few companies that are hiring.  Good luck. 
OSI's management has been all over these boards
making up a different moniker for each happy, happy OSi employee they pretend to be throughout the day. Just the fact that they have nothing better to do than this and the fact that they're such immature deceptive babies just shows the lack of class that is running this company.

They show their lack of professionalism on here every day and they think we're all too stupid to notice.
They posted on all the MT boards.
I did not like the tone of their ad.  If you pass our test we'll call you, etc.  Like they are doing you a favor.  Hello, without MTs you don't have a business.  On their website it says their rates start at 7.5 cpl for the clients.  How much do the MTs make then?  I'm really sick of these places making money off our digits and not paying more than McDonalds.   I think they offshore too. I guess I'm in a bad mood. Sorry.
what do you expect. We keep saying on these boards
that things are going down the tubes, then some Pollyanna's get on and gush about how great their business is doing and you must have poor skills if you can't get paid more than 3 cpl, bla,bla,bla. Look at the big picture. MT is going to get worse, not better.
Lots of boards on here. ..
Guess I'm confused. . .I asked this question on the Gab Board and someone suggested that I ask it on the Company Board.
Here we go again! These boards are supposed to be here for HELP
and not for constant company bashing by someone who so obviously has an axe to grind for some reason. I for one am so sick of this!
Check the job boards.

I wonder if they check these boards?
I kinda hope they do, so they can see how highly regarded they are and how pleased their employees are with them.

TT is the best, and I say that having been around the proverbial MT 'block' more than a few times, lol!
You again. Do you comb the boards sm
for the negative (and it's very mild what I said, isn't it) to rush in and tell us how many pink ponies and rainbows came out of your butt because you work for Webmedx?
The whole point of these boards
Is to read entire threads, Einstein.

If for no other reason, to avoid making stupid comments just like YOU did in this thread.

Are YOU the boss of the boards?

Obviously not, since you can't even follow a simple thread and control your impulsive behavior until you've read (and comprehended) the entire conversation.

Just like a 4th grader with ADD.



I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.

Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
Company reading boards

Boy do the companies read these boards and when they find out that you are asking any questions about them or should you post anything negative about them -- they zing you a good one.  Nothing like freedom of speech or expressing one's opinion.  


 


 


These boards should be for accurate information
and not for speculation.  Zylomed did at one point, several years ago, offshore a small amount of work to Indian because they could not find American MTs who could/would do the very difficult doctors.  This work was eventually ALL given to American MTs - I know because I trained the MTs to do this work.  Zylomed DOES NOT outsource any work.
Management watches these boards
and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't input most of the superlative blurbs. 
I ran a search on a couple of boards. Came up dry.
I too would like to hear something about this company.  Feel free to email.
post your resume on the various job boards.
I've had offers from several companies that don't advertise positions for whatever reason.   I have had my current position 5 years from a company that didn't advertise, though they now do. 
Huh?? I was just thinking how calm the boards had
nm
Yes. Search the boards. Plenty there. nm

Post your resume on the job boards and see
what response you get. 
The companies don't own these boards nor monitor them. nm

These boards are to communicate ABOUT a company

yes i could just call them, but we have these boards to use as communication als nm

I use DVI and am internet-based. Look on the job boards to
see what equipment requirements are.  Post your resume on the job board. 
They are not allowed to talk about anything on the boards. nm
