For years I had wanted so badly to work for Axolotl. I was finally hired and found it to be one of the biggest disappointments ever. Left there and never looked back.

I hated working for Transolutions
The platform is terrible. I have never in my life struggled getting lines, always getting at least 250 lph, but on that platform, it was terrible. As for United Healthcare, be prepared for your premium to go up with that change because they are very, very expensive. I paid $700 a month at my last company with United Healthcare as the insurance. It was at Spheris, and I left after being employed there for 5 years because of the high insurance premium.
I did that insurance stuff too. Hated it. Happy to type only 1 voice now

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!!!
Really sad where people will readily list places they hated but not name places that are great.
What a wonderful, sharing group of people MTs are. :-(
Can anyone working at MD-IT please tell me how much you pay for insurance per month?

right, and the insurance is not that great
pay is 6.5 to 8 cpl, unless you're on a special team where you move around alot on accounts you get 9, the insurance is not cheap and has a huge deductible.

Axolotl carries BS/BC with very great rates and coverage!

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
Great news on insurance, I never doubted this would happen
Well, see, TT did come through on helping more with the insurance. Rates dropped considerably AND they are still doing research for getting even better rates and plans.
Nay sayers, you could have given them time and had a little faith. I worried, but wasted time worrying, because the big boss did what she said, and they always do. Congrats TT MTs. Things looking better every day. 
I'm not in QA, but I just started working PT for them and they seem great. sm
I have to admit the negative posts below kind of scared me, but ..... I guess we all have to go with our own experiences. So far, everyone has been friendly and helpful and the platform is easy to use, although I think the ShortHand works a bit slow ... we all have our little gripes.
Great working at Keystrokes.
I would like to hear from anyone with Keystrokes. I have been here for 7 months now and really love this company. The only thing I might complain about is their system for keeping line counts. Has anyone experienced any trouble as far as line counts go??? I would like some input on this. Thank you very much.
Sure there are things that sound great about working for the
I hired on with the local hospital here with the promise of going home. Yeah right!!!! Excuse after excuse after excuse and then I was told that I had to cross train on acute care before I could go home. So, that meant, what, another 6, 8, 10 months? Hahaha, no way. I love my radiology and that is what I want to stick with. I am home, but not with the hospital. And, making more money.
working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

Not me, not a problem at all. Enterprise has been working GREAT these days. nm

Great advice. Is people stop working for them, maybe they will start paying attention. I wonder if .
their clients know they do not pay their MTs to do the work. You can bet that Rapid Transcript is getting paid by the client. What a ripoff. Just the fact that they have an F rating by the BBB woudl be enough of a turn-off for me. Crappy business practices.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

HATED IT!...nm
xxx
Hated it!
I don't even know why I stayed with them as long as I did. There was hardly ever any work. I would ask to be placed on another account for more work, but the other accounts had no work as well?!! No direct deposit. My paycheck was never calculated correctly and it was hell trying to get the money I was actually owed. Having to log every single job you do and every single mistake found in the job plus calculating the line and character count at the end of the day was just ridiculous. I really have nothing good to say about this company.
I hated SPI
I quit SPI just over a month ago. I hated that place.
I hated it
Didn't make it two weeks. Management style sucked.
I hated it.......sm
But that is just me. too many difficult ESLs, and they make up the majority of that account.....I never liked Docuscribe....
I did not like MT World either and I hated being on IM all day. nm
xx
Ditto, hated it!
x
Hated their platform, could not
make any money on it. Constant technical problems. I quit.
HATED ExText
Found the same thing. My production dropped dramatically using that system. The cpl rate was great but not worth it. With the time wasted, I could have been earning 1 cpl less and still making more with increased production.
I hated AC years ago, but....
I hesitantly applied for the RAD position. I don't know anything about Rad or Path with them.
I used to work for OSI and hated it
..
My friend worked there and hated them, but
I guess it just depends.
Are you kidding? I hated RadNet!
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Ditto everything he/she said! Plus HATED the time
I hated to have to leave my last job for many reasons.
It was working in-house with great MDs and techs and other clerical people. But I felt the OM was sanity-challenged and I was extremely frustrated by her need to make herself look good and everybody else look bad. If you tried to do anything for the good of the company, she was extremely suspicious of your agenda. I now work for a company where everybody seems to be interested in putting out a quality product in a smart and efficient manner. What a relief to be able to concentrate on work! And yes, I actually took a cut in pay from a great hourly wage. It's a shame to have to do that, but it was better than fuming night and day over work for me.
I absolutely HATED Meditech.
Slow isn't the word! The spellchecker was a total PIA to use and my text Expander wasn't compatible with it either. My company did offer a teensy weensy rate increase but it just wasn't worth it...plus they recalculated the lines on us. Meditech counted 55 characters but our bill rate was for 65 so it was like a double whammy, so what you saw on the screen was not what you got paid for. Total ouch.
When I used Meditech, it was on a dial-up connection and when it dumped (several times a shift), guess what? I lost my work! 100% completely unrecoverable.
Oh the memories still make me wince in pain.
worked there for a month--hated it. nm

Hated it enough to leave a company
that couldn't take the time to use it right. When a company USES it properly, it is not too bad. When they don't bother to have the doc's office fill in the necessary information and then not bother to build the necessary data bases, it is real hard to earn a living.
I hated transolutions also... the reason they
have so much work is because they can't keep people to do it. You will receive mountains of notebooks and papers during training to try and figure out, the platform is horrible, they DON'T COUNT SPACE OR PUNCTUATION Keystrokes PEOPLE, tons of data to enter on ADT screen, you have to manually add any doctor that is dictated in the report to the cc list (give me a break), lots and lots of busy work, QA IS A NIGHTMARE. I stuck it out for 2 months just in case the whole thing was just me, but nope, it wasn't, somehow lines just didn't add up. I couldn't get out of there fast enough! I would NEVER work for them or recommend them again!
My most hated dictators are not the ESLs, sm
they are sloppy dictators who talk at the speed of light and mumble but still expect an accurate report. 
You're right that there is a lot of work. I just wish we had a definite payday. It would be nice to know if I'm getting paid on the 4th, the 8th, the 10th or whenever. That would be my only complaint with the place. Otherwise, it is easy work with great people.
Left there last year. I hated the
platform and the dictators and voice system horrible. I was unable to make any money. QA was a draw depending on who you got. Good luck.
hated it, quit after just a few days
because so many things were just plain weird and tons of discrepancies. Some things work with the keyboard, some don't. I could go on.
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

I worked for them for over 5 years and hated to leave.
I just quit in the last 3 weeks. I loved it there.
They don't hate their employees. As far as your Spheris-specific complaints above, found the exact opposite to be true.
They're not going down the tubes; in fact, they are headed toward taking MQ's spot as #1 in the industry. They are #2 currently.
I had many offers to do QA and even go into management but I preferred to control my income by MTing. I made top dollars with that company and they were always working with me.
I can see you did not have a good experience there. Have you ever enjoyed any company you worked for or have you always had these feelings everytime you left one?
No cherry picking here. I always hated that and love that about
TransTech. Their feeling is that you have to take the good with the bad.
Back in April they did -- hated that platform!!
One of the main reasons I left.
I hated Amphion, lasted 3 weeks
nm
Oracle........I hated it ....soooooooooo slow
xx
I hated YOG. I had horrendous accounts, couldn't get
samples, they called 24/7 wanting me to work extra, even 6 months after I left. I was only there about 4 months and left before Carole sold-out despite saying she would NEVER do it.
My account is on Meditech, which at first I HATED, but now I do not mind so much. sm
You can look up old reports by the same doctor, information about the patient such as lab tests, medications, etc. It just took some getting used to for me.
Like the other poster said, from the email that was sent out the other day, it sounds like they are phasing out part-time people, although I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask, especially if you want to work a shift where they happen to need coverage.
Good luck!
