How long have you worked for WMX?  Have you worked for other nationals/MTSOs?  What do you like best about it?

I am currently testing/interviewing with them and would like your views.

Thanks.

I'm trying to pull together a pros/cons list for Webmedx and the possibility of looking into employment there, so I thought I would put it out there for the experts - - those of you who either work there now or have in the past.  My major areas of concern surround: 

1.  Amount/line (average - - for 30+ years experience).

2.  Reliability of work not running out.

3.  Reliability of being paid.

4.  Benefits.  How long does it take for them to kick in once employed.

5.  Amount of work, if any, being outsourced.

6.  Amount of work within the company involved with voice recognition.

7.  Is it mandatory to do voice recognition or can you remain a traditional MT?

8.  If traditional MT is an option, is the result dictation you wouldn't want to give your worst enemy?

I think those are just a few to highlight at the moment.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have interviews for an Acute Care MT position (employee, not IC) with both Axolotl and Webmedx and would like some CURRENT feedback before I make a decision.  Have been an Acute Care MT for over 30 years and want to “plant” myself at my LAST job before retirement.    Getting too old to keep going through these testing/interview processes.  

I have researched both Axolotl and Webmedx and to no surprise the poster either hates 'em or loves 'em.  It seems like both companies have gone through some major changes during 2006 and plan more changes in the future – good or bad – depending on who is replying.  From preliminary information, they seem to be comparable in pay, both provide the computer, insurance is reasonable at both, and other benefits are close to identical, which is making it hard for me to swing one way or the other without more information. 

I would really appreciate either a post or E-Mail from CURRENT (or newly former) employees of Axolotl and Webmedx with their opinion as to if they feel reasonably confident they can continue to make a comfortable living over the next few years (or at least not have drastic downward changes in their future incomes), where they think their employers are going in the future, if they are comfortable with the direction they are taking (job security), and if they think they will still be working for the company in say 5 to 10 years (or at least plan to, baring unforeseen circumstances).   Any information you care to share on ESL and achieving/maintaining minimum lines per pay period would also be helpful.   Any other information you would care to share would also be greatly appreciated in my attempt to decide the PROS and CONS of these two companies.   

Needless to say, I would love to hear any negatives in case I need to go in a totally different direction.    Any former employees who would care to share why they left would be very insightful too.   

Any information you have will certainly help in my decision making.  Thank you in advance.

I would like to hear from any MTs who have recently (within the past month or two)  turned down offers or changed their minds about applying at Amphion, Axolotl, and Webmedx.  I have heard that each of those companies have been going through some major changes recently which could affect the atmosphere there.  For example, Amphion, I hear, has lost quite a few MTs.  Axolotl is bringing on so many new accounts everyone works OT every week.  Webmedx is going to be converting to speech recognition and the way their work is being assigned has changed recent. 

I decided to throw out a wider net and have been contacted by Amphion, Axolotl, and Webmedx to do testing and interviews.  That's a lot of my time.  Since current employees love the place and former employees hate the place, I was trying to figure out a way to get some honest opinions about these companies before I go through all the testing and interviewing.   I thought maybe if I could hear from MTs who already went through the process and changed their minds that might be useful information. 

I'd like to know why you decided against going with the company, if there is a specific reason -- hours, pay, benefits, bad vibes from the interviewer?  Any honest opinions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks. 

nasty technicians/programmers that are supposed to be helping keep us up and operating, but instead think they are doing us a favor by fixing their problems, usually problems created by their own incompetence?  Is this just a bluster to cover up for their inadequate personalities and their lack of ability?   This used to be the tactic the quack doctors used to make their patients think they were great.   How many more MTs does a company have to lose because the equipment is always down, no communication when it it goes down or comes back up, just an attitude of I am better than you and you will just have to keep trying every 10 minutes (at no cost to the company) to see if it is fixed. 

Customer satisfaction is always listed as a company priority.  From what my husband has told me about management, employees are also customers, but the way these rude donkeys treat us, there sure is not going to be any satisfaction with a job, so people just keep looking for a better company, one that will at least communicate and make the techs have a decent attitude or fire them. 

but it still goes on a lot. I complained to my TL then ROM and then ***. My TL and ROM said they were aware of the problem and were working on stopping it. After it still going on I finally complained to ***. She said she would work on it but it still to this day goes on with the account I am on andwill continue to go on.

The TL on my account mistakenly told me over the phone while we were having another argument about the cherry pickers that some MTs on the account I was on were not able to do the harder dictators so they kept them out of their pool. These MTs didn't even try and type the report, just kept sending reports that looked like swiss cheese. Everyone on the account should have the same doctors, regardless of how hard they are. If they cannot do the **** of this world they need to get their own accounts because it is not fair to the other MTs.

***edited by moderator to remove names***  No names please. 

Okay all of you IC folks quick question.  Do you like the flexibility of IC work?  Do you think being an employee is better or about the same?  Do you think you can make more money being IC as they are smaller companies than the big corporate giants we all know too well.  Just wanted some fast feed back on the life of being an IC.

I see at least 6 different MDI posters here; anyone want to share FB pages?  It would be kind of nice to have a 'network' to ask direct questions to...

thread below.  Does anyone know how to break into this?  I believe I would be very good at this and I don't believe I have ever seen any ads for recruiters.

If I have never seen any ads, how do some of the recruiters who have been/are MTs/QA manage to find the positions that they do in order to allow them to change companies when some of us have never seen an ad to allow us to even enter that end of the field?

I would love to know because I think it would be very interesting.

Would you recommend just to start emailing all companies or calling them, or do you think it would be a waste of time?

There is plenty of work at Transtech.  You may have to get out of your comfort zone but we have bonuses now for at least one account.  We have plenty of work.  If you're looking for a good company don't delay applying and if you do work here and run out of work check with your supervisor.  No I'm not a recruiter but I am happy with TT.

I have been helping my son investigate career options and discovered that dental hygienists make 62K a year after completing a mere two-year program. 

I guess one must ask oneself if they are squeamish about cleaning out other people's mouths, but I think I could get over it pronto (if I was younger) knowing how this profession has gone down the spit sink.

pointing out the contradictatory assumptions --first,  the original poster was wrong, the company is wonderful and has great communication and never deceives (or leaves out vital information regarding an account).  Then turns around and says communication must not be good, mgt doesn't know this is happening, who not go over your lead's head.  There is either great communication or there is not great communication.  The mgt should be dealing with these issues with honesty and not leaving it to MTs at home trying to help and getting all tangled up in contraindications.

.Why would a skilled MT give a company a second chance when the company obviously knew about the turmoil over the situation in the first place, and played dumb when confronted with this issue.
