Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

I'm posting on this board and will also post on the main board.  But those of you who have been ripped off by Jayne Mattingly from TSI (Illinois) may have received an email stating she would send us the contact info of her 'partner' who 'seized' the acct.  Well, don't bother calling the phone number of the 'partner' as it has been disconnected.  Weird huh.  Also, it's not a partner..its her attorney who is just going to fool around some more and never pay us.  You could email her and ask for the correct one, but good luck with that.  I saw a post about contacting the attorney general (yeah, apparently other people dont get paid) and I plan on looking into that more and will let you know what i find out.  Also, if you are interested the local newspaper is Herald and Review.  Might be an interesting story for them....would love to read the story Local Businesswoman Pockets $1,000s from a Government Contract and Never Paid the People Doing the Work  I sent a quick note...would probably help if others did.

nm.

Considering them and would like to know the scoop on them. 

Is their platform  Inscribe by Emdat?   Autopopulated demographics?   What is average pay?  Can you make a good line count?  Good dictators?

Hi,

Does anyone have any info on a company called Axolotl? I'd like to know how flexible they are (12-hour window?), what they pay is like, and are they a friendly staff.

Thanks in advance.

WanderingMT, I don't know where you get there is a high turnover.  I have worked there for 2 years and the only turnover I know of are the people who cannot maintain their Quality.  Axolotl is known for hiring the best of the best MTs and also being quality driven.  If an MT cannot produce quality documents, then they are not going to make it at Axolotl.  Also, WanderingMT, are you not the one who has posted that you could not even pass the preemployment testing??

As far as their accounts, they have accounts nationwide.  Also, Axolotl does NOT overstaff and just because there are only 75 MTs, does not mean that we run out of work.  LOL  It is actually the total OPPOSITE. 

As far as making line counts, I was up to 1200 lines in a week after hiring.  If you are a disciplined MT, making your line counts will not be an issue.  The platform is very user-friendly and much better than any other company I have worked for.

I hope this helps Hubba!!!  You really cannot go wrong in looking at them.  If you need more info, feel free in e-mailing me!!!!

Sent resume over the weekend.  Curious about pay, how many PTO days, any bonus incentives?  Thanks for any info you can provide!

All this really great PR for Axolotl motivated me to check out their website and I am going to apply on line.  I am all for great QA and 98.5% accuracy.  I don't consider myself run-of-the-mill as the original poster considers herself--I think I would do well at Axolotl from what I have read on here. 

Some important things were not mentioned on their website or in these postings:

-  ESL ?  Where I work now, I have a preoponderance of ESL dictators and other difficult dictators. I also sometimes deal with up to 10 different sets of style guidelines for 10 different clients in the space of a single shift.   In general, what is the composition of the workload ?

- Pay scale:  For transcription by the line ?  For voice rec editing by the line ?  Is QA paid by the line or by the hour ?

-  Are they sending work to India  ?  If so, how is this impacting your workload ?  Do you have enough work or do you often run out ?

Thanks for any info you can provide,

I need some current feedback on Axolotl and New Road Transcription.  Can anyone provide pros, cons, goods, bads, on either company?

thanks
