It does work around MS word...using your copy of word on your machine,..so you have to have your own spellcheck and Expander or have autocorrect set up

The staff was very nice, seemed organized in getting equipment out.  Was not disclosed full details of shift.  You must be on 8 hours, you are logged the whole time. It took the better part of a day to be set up.  The next day it took an entire morning to be trained.  The trainer did not seem well versed with the software, constantly put on hold to take other calls.  Constantly said will call back in 5 minutes and it would be 2 hours.  Not paid for demographics that take a lot of time and software was very cumbersone and to me not production friendly.  Positives were employee status and the benefits were average.  Was told top pay for acute care is 9 cents 65 character line.  I decided it was not for me, but someone else may like the software and adhering to a strict schedule.  Everyone was friendly.

take it so I can't speak for them, but Axolotl is a great company.  I'm making almost 2 cpl more than what TT offered.  Work has been slow lately but they pay downtime and have are adding accounts little by little.  6 paid holidays, PTO, 401K with up to 3% match, free short/long-term disability.  I don't have a need for health insurance, but premiums are more reasonable than most.

They provide all hardware/software.  Great tech support available 24/7.  QA pretty strict, but reasonable.  Almost no flexibility with schedule, though getting off for doctor's appointments and things like that aren't an issue.  I think they only have 90 MTs/QA right now so still a small company, but one that respects its employees. 

I've been there a year and like with anything there have been a few ups and downs, but I would highly recommend then.   

The whole time I was interviewing the recruiter was IMing people, either interrupting to do it or saying out loud what she was sending.  I can understand the need to communicate, but thought it extremely rude.

The account they wanted to put me on was the most wonderful account and I was lucky there was an opening because the MTs on the account just loved it and there was rarely an opening.   She then put me in contact with the lead on the account and she told me that it was an extremely difficult account and that they couldn't keep MTs on the account.  I had worked on the account years ago when I worked on YOG and I knew that it was an extremely difficult account.   The lead also let slip that they offshored work and the good work went offshore and the crap was left here for us to do. 

I hate being lied to more than anything and once someone lies and I catch them in it I'm done, no second chances. 

I got offered a position to type some reports in a specialty I have been typing for 6 months.  I was offered 7cpl for 65 character line.  Does not pay for hard returns, tabs, empty lines, headers, footers are not paid.  Spaces between words are. 

At my other position I was getting 6cpl including hard returns. 

How do I figure out if this new offer is equal or better than what I already had? 

Yes, I know neither are high paying.  I am new to the industry, only finished my course 7months ago.  BUT, this particular specialty is easy for me and I have very high marks with QA.

Any and all advise is welcome.  Thanks!
