I was wondering which company you prefered. They are about the same benefit wise and such, but was wondering how they differ as far as management, work load, platform, etc. Also, am just taking general comments on both companies - good or bad. I have a offer from both and not sure which company to go to. I have looked in the archives, but just not sure as there is good and bad for both. Thanks.

Transcend, Cymed or Medware
Which is better to work for, pay, benefits, flexibility.
She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm

Don't run out of work at CyMed
Which office do you work out of? I work for Cymed out of Ohio and have plenty of work. As far as my line count, I keep track of it on my own in Chartnet and my lines always match what they pay me. I wasn't aware that they sent any work to India.
cymed out of work
I'm just curious - The talk I see on the board is about them hiring you and then running out of work, so how can they be advertising in a recent ad on this website (1/23) saying, .......is the exclusive home to the Dictation Dollars SM program that guarantees you won't lose income due to lack of work. What's up with that? How can they tout MTs not losing income due to lack of work, yet on this site I see several apparently have left because of lack of work. Sounds like they're talking out of both sides of their mouth, in my opinion. 
Cymed-out of work?
Anybody out there working for Cymed who is running out of work on a consistent, daily basis? What's up with that? They continue to advertise and recruit, yet those of us who are full-time employees sit with barely enough to make it worth getting started each day. I know many companies probably over-hire, but give us a break! They threaten to cut benefits for those who don't make quota, yet don't provide us with enough work to pay for our portion of them!! Dictation dollars my #!$!*.
Anyone work for Cymed?
I am looking for a company to transcribe for. My own account went EMR, and I need work. Is Cymed good? Do you know how much they pay? Any good companies for OP reports or pain management. Ortho too? Thanks.
Cymed has work
I work for the Ohio office and never run out of work. In fact, they asked if I knew any MTs that want to work because they are starting new accounts. So, it's hard to believe there is no work at CyMed.
No work at Cymed
Thanks so much.
I work for Cymed, and although I
will not get 10 or 11 cpl with them, and will be lucky to get 9 CPL. I get a mix of dictators, some good, some bad. I have found it to be a little better than some companies, they leave me alone to get my work done. Sometimes the work is slow and you have to get a secondary account. Good luck.
I work for Cymed
and like it. It is the first time I have worked for a national, was an IC before that and very used to doing my own thing. It was an adjustment to have to have a schedule, although they are somewhat flexible. Always pays on time, direct deposit, so I can't complain.
I used to work for CyMed.......
Glad I am not there now, with all this buying up the company, etc. I was there when they were giving the majority of the work to those overseas. Glad to be where I am now.
Anyone else work for Cymed?
I'm just wondering if anyone else out there works for Cymed. I have been with them for nearly 10 months now, and recently I have noticed a lot of changes/problems. It seems that every few paychecks, they fail to pay me for my second shift differential, shorting me about $60 each time, and then I have to wait 2 weeks until the next pay check to be compensated what they neglected to pay me on the last check. Also, the last 2 or 3 times that I have had to called tech support, NO ONE has ever called me back! It turned out that their server was down, but I had no way of knowing since no one had the decency to call me back even though I left 2 messages on the tech support voice mail and I was without work for over an hour. What happened to their answering service that they always had??? It used to be that whenever you called for help after hours or on weekends, you got an actual answering service who took your message and actually paged the person on call, and I would always get a call back within a half hour or less. Now, I just get someone's voice mail who I have never heard of, and who never returns the calls...at least not mine. Also, all of a sudden, my account manager sent us all an e-mail about 2 weeks ago saying that she was no longer going to be the manager and that she was going back to an editing position. I just think that all of this is too weird. My friend, who has been working for Cymed for about 3 months, has had 2 of his account managers quit! I am supposed to start training with Transtech this week, and maybe it's a good thing that I am. I really HATE to have to change companys because I am so comfortable with all of my dictators and love their platform, but things just seem to be going downhill. I'm just wondering if anyone who works for Cymed is having the same or similar problems.
I work for SPI/CyMed
I have worked for Cymed (now SPI) for a year now and I am quite happy. I make 9 cpl during the week and 9.5 cpl on weekends and holidays. The software is the best that I have ever used and I am left alone to do my job. I would recommend it.
I work for CyMed (now SPI)
I work for Cymed (now SPI) and I have not had a single problem since SPI took over CyMed last August. My manager is great, I have TONS of work (I have never run out). In fact, I think that there is even more work now since it has become SPI! Pay is always direct deposited on time, they are very flexible, there are great accounts, and I, personally, couldn't be happier.
SPI/Cymed~ Anyone work for them? Any opinions? Thanks! nm

Work for SPi now, prior CyMed...
and EVERY company has issues, you just have to figure out what issues are deal-breakers for you personally. SPi HAS started switching QAs around to all different accounts, but not sure about the MTs; however, on the few times that these accounts have run short of work for the MTs on them, they've had them actually doing QA! That's ONE position, at least, that you can guarantee you'll move up to if you're competent and want the move.
Their benefits are better and less expensive than CyMeds were, and vacation time is actually a bit better.
There are no yearly or scheduled raises with SPi.
My advice is to ask LOTS of questions BEFORE accepting either job with either company; you should also get EVERYthing in writing, AGAIN, do this BEFORE you accept either position...especially as relate to compensation, benefits, and work hours. :D Best of luck whatever you choose!
Cymed offshores work and their pay isn't great.
I have 20 years' experience, can do the most difficult of ESL and they offered me 8 cpl and if I did 20,000 lines then 8.5 cpl.
Many posts in archives about TRS and how difficult it is to get lines and their formula takes a rocket scientist to figure out. They are also looking into offshoring to Trinidad, also supported by Cymed.
Transolutions - lots of negatives in the archives, not sure I have ever seen anything positive.
Don't know about Silent Type, but read the archives.
I agree with MTer. I, too, work for CyMed.
Extremely MINIMAL micromanagement style. If you stick to your schedule (with a little flexibility) and are accurate, I think you would find Cymed to be a good company for you. It has been for me so far. Good luck!
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!!!!
Anyone Work for Medware?
Still fishing for some input on working for this comany, anyone got any info?
Does anybody work for Medware?
How productive are you? Is the platform user friendly? I'm thinking of applying there.
Work for Medware
You are right, it is an awesome platform. Easy to get good line count.
I work for Medware
They are a very good company, I started out part-time and then went to full-time. Good benefits, direct deposit and steady work. Don't know too much about Spheris but I am quite happy with Medware. Good luck to you.
Anyone know how much Medware work goes to

How is Medware to work for??

I currently work for Medware....sm
and absolutely LOVE it! They do match a percentage on 401k. I also think it depends on the Team Leader regarding holidays. Everything is negotiable. I always have work, and the Team Leaders I have are great! You also have to kind of take what you hear on this board (or most) at times with a grain of salt because as you said, there are lovers and haters of MOST companies, but what one person may hate, another may love. This is only my second MT job, and I believe I will be retiring with this one. I have been one of the lucky ones to have only worked for 2 companies. The first one I worked as an IC, and I would still be there, but needed an employee position with bennies and other perks such as sick leave, vacation, etc. when my hubby got laid off from his job. I have to say that I could not have chosen a better company to work for, and I too was skeptical at first. You just need to ask questions and make sure ANY job is the right one for you. I wish you luck!
I work for Medware....sm
and LOVE it. I have been with them for almost a year now. They pay on time. They have a GREAT staff, incentives, platform, good benefits, etc. HTH!
Medware has no work for anybody

Which platform do you work on at Medware?
nm
you don't happen to work for medware do you??...
I work on an account that sounds just like the one you are on and it is horrible. After 4 months still can't get a decent line count on this account and I have several years of experience.
I work for Medware and could not be happier
Medware has been a great company to work for, I have been with them for over two years. Very happy at Medware.
I too work for Medware and LOVE it...
They were a very good change for me also. The benefits are good. My team leaders are GREAT. I could NOT have picked a better place to work. They DEFINITELY are a GREAT company to work for, and I too have been VERY happy there!
I work for Medware...I love it!

Medware radiology MTs...what do you make and do you have enough work?
TIA
I work for MedWare part-time.
I am happy MedWare. Theyis flexible though you do have to do a stick to a schedule. However, I have never had a problem with getting time off when I wanted. They have plenty of work for us to do. Pay is on time. The Merit platform is user friendly though I liked Dictaphone better. So far, I have had a nice group of people to work with.
I believe the pay is low but I have applied to 3 other nationals and they have not offered anything better. I hope that helps.
I work for MedWare part-time.
I am impressed. I get quick responses from my supervisor. The Merit runs real smooth on my computer. We have lots of work. This week it is a little slow as compared to last week but enough to keep us busy during our shift. Usually by weekends though we are swamped. I do think the pay is a little low but for me it is worth it not to have to drive in-house.
I have never worked for Diskriter. The benifit package looks wonderful.
I work for MedWare part-time.
I have no complaints. I have worked since December. Last week the account I was on ran out of work. They say that doesn't happen very often. The week before that we had too much work to do. Anyway, the pay is a little low but probably average in this business anymore. I use the Merit platform. It is easy to learn but I don't like the word processor part. It is like a glorified note pad. Schedules are flexible. I have not yet had any problem getting off when I needed it.
Did youhave steady work with Medware? Do they

Does Medware require you to work holidays?

SoftScript is a joke, Medware ok if it has work

How is it that in less than 1 year Medware goes from the best company to work for to the worst?
Let's hope AAMT does a better job of picking the next company of the year!
Medware, good platform, plenty of work
I have worked for them almost 3 years now, they are a better than average company and pay on time every other Friday. Check them out, you will be happy you did. Kim.
Medware does not pay correct? How so, you can email me too.. I dont want to work where they screw up
your check.. Thanks for any help...
Any current information on Medware such as work load, pay, benefits, etc.
