How long have you worked for CyMed?
I just started with them (also PT) and can't quite get the required line count yet although close. Some days are great. Then others are bad (bad ESLs). Overall, I really like working here though. Thanks for the info in advance.
Has anyone ever worked for Cymed and what do you think of it.
:
Worked for Cymed....
They do not like to do pay raises and they pay stinks. Yes they offshore. Okay people, but just not a place where you can go anywhere.
Even the long time Cymed recruiter jumped and went to another Nashville company.
i'm totally amazed they are still running but i feel an implosion any day now.
I worked for ProScribe then Cymed and none of them paid OT
Yuck.

How long had you worked for the company? sm
I feel like a dolt for not doing any research on this company before beginning to work for them. I was already a bit apprehensive because they do not have direct deposit. Had you worked for them long before the problem with the paychecks? My feeling is, first check they miss, I'm outta here, but that does not compensate for the money already lost. :(
Thanks!
I worked for MQ for a very long time. sm
I really loved working for them until the recent changes, and I agonized over my decision to leave. Now that it is done and over with, I can honestly say that I feel I made the right choice. However, now I find myself desperately searching for that job that I can settle into and be happy with, and hopefully outdo my 8 years with MQ. I definitely don't enjoy changing jobs.
I worked for them a long time ago.
Left in 2003. They were nice enough to work for. Not sure how it is now.
I didn't know there was one, how long have you worked there? SM
I have been with them about 1 year. I came from MQ.
How long have you worked for Webmedx?
I have worked there for a long time
and the trainer at All Type is excellent. She is very patient, precise about the process, and no question is too dumb for her. She never makes you feel stupid for asking. All your account specifics are in writing so you can refer to them instead of sitting there in the dark. The typing platforms are varied but not difficult to learn.
I've worked for them not too long but so far
I think their work ethics and how they treat their employees far surpasses (in my eyes) my temporary lack of work. I've worked for too many nationals that treat me like pond scum, so I really like these people.
Yes. Have worked for a long time and
always had work in the morning, but now there is nothing to do. I can't even make my minimum line counts most of the time.
Apparently nobody's worked there t for long. n/m

I worked for Futurenet for a long time. sm
I can honestly say that I did not work on any accounts without a majority of ESLs. Unless they got a lot of new accounts that are really good, the norm with them was heavy ESLs. I would advise any MT who has a problem with ESLs to check this out thoroughly before applying with them.
i worked for MQ a long time, and find
MDIs platform not quite as sophisticated, but plenty adequate, plenty fast, and all in all, a very good place to be. I have the I/N accounts. p.s., I don't find the spell check lacking either.
I worked there a very long time ago. Is Rose still there? sm
I was very happy there, except for the, then manager, who was the owner's sister. That was the only reason I left. Our personalities just clashed and she was very demanding.
Other than that, the company was run very well, I was paid well; however, no matter how many lines I did, it never seemed to be enough. I was transcribing 2500 lines a day, and still it wasn't enough.
I would say good company and give them a try. If the sister is gone, things may be a whole lot better.
I think they use Vianeta now, terrible platform in my opinion.
Had you worked for them very long? How many lines were you averaging each pay period?
That is terrible. I am so sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you in your new job.
i've worked for MQ for a long time and never got a raise

I worked there a long time ago. FInally got paid by going in with a group who got a lawyer. sm
I can't believe they're still in business!
SPi versus CyMed...SPI is offshore and YES they bought CyMed...
CyMed is now part of SPi and will be merged into the company and will follow all company policies and procedures. It's the only way the President, COO of SPi could grow the company and keep his job. He has to grow through acquisition. This means that at least 70% of all CyMed's business will be transitioned to India or Manila. The US MTs working at Cymed should be very careful and start looking!!!!
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40. I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed. However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws. I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary. Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad.
CyMed
Any current info on this company would be appreciated. Specifically would like to know if they allow a flexible schedule, what their pay range is, what type of software they use, and how the staff is to work with. Any info is much appreciated.
Cymed
I am surprised that you had a bad experience with Cymed. Which office was you working out of? I work for the Ohio office and the trainer is wonderful. She is very helpful and actually everyone that I have dealt with so far has been great. 
CyMed
TIA.
cymed
I talked to their Richmond office and was offered 8.5 cpl, but they do not pay for spaces. I have a friend who works for a different office and she gets paid for spaces, but they told me they had instituted a new policy and only the people who had worked for them before it went into effect still got paid for spaces.
cymed
I work for the Virginia office and you will never find a nicer group of people.
Managers are great and the tech. support is wonderful day or night.
CyMed
I was offered 9 cpl. No they don't pay for spaces because they said they don't charge for them. Everyone I talked to seemed incredibly nice except the trainer. She was incredibly rude when she called me, so much so that I did not accept the job. I told them about her too. She seemed like a hateful older lady who really didn't have time for the likes of me.
Cymed
Cymed of Ohio does a lot of reports for the Cleveland Clinic. I also saw the article on the face transplant. I have worked for Cymed for 17 yrs.
Cymed
I work for Cymed. I have been with them since July and totally love it there. Great people.
Cymed
Do you mind sharing what office you are out of and do find it hard to get your linecount without being paid for spaces?
cymed
I work for the Ohio office. I do not have a problem with getting a decent line count. The platform is great and easy to use.
CyMed Pay
I know you would want to figure about 20% for the loss of spaces, but then the headers offset that a bit and the good platform. The 9 cents seems very low based on that if you are an experienced MT.
Cymed and pay?
Can anyone give me information on Cymed, pay?
Cymed
I was with MQ at one point too, but now with Cymed. This company is very MT friendly and I've always got work. They did not offer statutory employee, just PT or FT. FT gives me good insurance, vacation and holiday pay. What I like the most is my supervisor saying she wouldn't have her job if it wasn't for us MTs.
cymed
Does anyone else work for Cymed, and what is your experience
cymed
can you please elaborate
cymed
i have worked for them for about 1 year. great managers. easy platform.
cymed
I have worked for Cymed now for 17 years. I worked for the company under the ownership of Linda and Tom Lally before they merged recently. They are just like any other transcription company out there as far as pay etc is concerned, however, they do seem to care and work with their employees including giving incentives etc. The company recently helped out an employee living the the New Orleans area who lost everything she had. The company really came through for her. Good luck to you regarding which company you choose.

when i clicked Cymed in your note, i was directed to another page here and saw:
Cymed, Inc. is involved in Offshore Outsourcing (sending sensitive private health information of US citizens to countries such as India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc...).
