i am a Cymed employee and love it. they treat the employees like people.
Cymed has LOW pay...do NOT pay for sm
spaces. The only good office, I think, was the Greensboro office, but they are now with the Hudson OH office.
Cymed
I, on the other hand, do not like them. They would never give me another account when I worked for them and I would run out of work always. I would never go back and work for them. Transcend is much better.
cymed
worked for them just quit. they promise you everything you get nothing.
managers think this is your only priority. i do now have my life back.

CyMed
run run run and dont look back. i work for them now and am looking for a new job. lies, lies and more lies when asked about why we run out of work.

Anyone working for Cymed that can tell me pros, cons, how many accounts they typically assign you, workload consistency, dictator quality, $$ potential, platform info, etc. Just tested w/ them and want to make sure I am getting into something positive here. Any info appreciated!!
cymed and p.r.n
cymed has been on the board a lot recently. check back for about the last 14 days. not great reviews. good luck.
Cymed
Any comments on Cymed? I've just been offered a job there but want to be sure before I quit my other job.
CYMED
D&L Typing Service is great and looking for MTs :)
Cymed or Transolutions?
Which would you rather work for and why? Appreciate both positive and negative feedback. Thanks.
Now, who is working for CyMed?
 ......... in Ohio? If you are, are you happy with the way that the jobs have been "dealt-out" to guess where lately?
When you get one job for one doctor, then have in your same queque one job from another doctor, then another job from another doctor, and they are almost under 1 minute in length, where else are they going to but overseas?? Yes, they do hire a good bit of U.S. transcriptionists, but I think we are being treated "substandardly" as far as jobs that we get, compared to those typing overseas for them. They really get the "cream of the crop," and also a lot of cherrypicking goes on with this company also. Seems some people just LOVE to look down their queque list, and send all those under 1 minute back, and I seem to be getting ALL of them!! I have approached them about it, and just got told that they NEVER allow cherrpicking, but guess what, THAT IS JUST NOT SO!!!
Is CyMed good/If not who is????
I have worked in transcription at home for over 8 years but for local practices. I am new to the national companies. I recently looked at the Cymed web site. Is this a good company? If not can someone please tell me where to start looking.
Cymed-offshore
Well, thank you! You just answered a question I asked Cymed.....and they never answered! 
DONT GO TO CYMED
promises abound, but work rarely available in my experience was with them for 6+ months
DO NOT APPLY WITH SPI/CYMED
They are "eliminating" positions apparently to start their transfer offshore. Not a good company to work for by any means!!!
I know people who went to work for Cymed.....
The ones who say they are happy are the ones that don't really need a good pay check (older ladies who basically work for the insurance and a little extra cash). The others say that they can definitely tell a big difference with them not paying for spaces. They all say the people are nice though and offer good bonuses for extra work on the weekend at times. I've also heard that there are a lot of ESL doctors. I tested and was offered 9.5 cents with them, but everyone else I've heard says they were offered 8 to 8.5 cpl????
CyMed -anbody work for them

Updated info on CyMed?
Hi -
First time ever on this board and I've been an MT for 15 years. Worked for Healthscribe before Spheris took over (3 years) and now work for another company...but looking elsewhere. Can anyone give me their honest opinions about CyMed? I just tested with them, extremely easy to me, but I HATE changing job. However, job I have now....isn't paying the bills at all, waiting for work constantly, they are going to start off-shoring, etc. I'm single, have 1 child, lost a great job last year working by the hour (outside of home), but lost the job (don't even ask). I loved it, but got screwed. Now I'm just depressed, disgusted, broke, etc., and very stressed and worried. I'm going to have to get out of transcription or something. This just isn't working and I seriously would appreciate any good or bad.  I talked to a man there for over an hour yesterday. He was extremely patient and took his time explaining everything I asked.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Have you tried All-Type? or CyMed? Or Spheris? sm
It seems Spheris always has an ad running, and Cymed has been recruiting pretty heavily, too, along with Transcend. I have no idea if they are good places to work, and no doubt the pay is not so hot, or they would not have to advertise so much, but it might get you through the lean times until something better comes along.
I have over 30 years of experience as an MT, and received responses from only about 1/2 of the companies. I think they do get inundated with resumes/applications, and it does take awhile to sift through everything.
I love the company I am with, but the work has dried up over the last month or so, and I decided to get a second job so I wouldn't be homeless. I'm my sole support, so I get pretty nervous when no income is coming in. I am supposed to start with All-Type next week. They seem like a good company, but then again, I suppose they all do at the start.
Good luck! 
Cymed uses ChartNet and it is a great software
system. Lots of things to make transcription easier for
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
Now Ive heard that before.:) nm

That's not what I have heard...

What I heard...
And is strictly speculation... Phillips will dump MQ and Spheris will snap them up... and we all know what happens to those who work for Spheris! Can you say hello Bangalore? 
I heard it too AND

Not heard anything about it
sorry
I am sure you have heard this before..
there is no such thing as a dumb question.
you are asking questions other people wish they had the answers to but are afraid to ask.
and you are correct in your assumptions, however, your on-call status might have parameters; for instance, between the hours of midnight and 8 a.m.
Anyone heard of LTS, INC?
I was thinking of applying at LTS, INC but I was not sure if they were reputable! If anyone has ever heard anything about them, let me know! Thanks!! 
What I heard
I heard September 11th is the day we are all supposed to boycott.
This is what I heard is better to do
Of course, we all need gas, and as another poster noted, just not buying gas on a certain day will not work.
What I heard is, buy your gas from a small-time operation, as opposed to Exxon, BP, etc. This will cause them to lower their prices, and the smaller companies with follow by lowering theirs.
Also, noticed yesterday that gas has come down by about .50 in my area. I wasn't surprised, because when I have to go out, there's much, much less traffic...I would estimate by 75% of normal, so folks are boycotting in a way already... cutting down on their trips, combining trips, etc., because they just draw the line at the point prices had risen.
The last I heard
Huntsville Hospital transcription was a pill to work for. I worked with a lady one time who had quit the hospital because after they had agreed to give her vacation at a certain time months in advance they told her she couldn't take it and she had to cancel her vacation plans. They may have improved the way they do business by now but not sure. I would do more research if at all possible.
Heard something
Instead of the bonus being in the 10/1 paycheck, it is supposed to be in the 11/15 paycheck. Of course part of all of it was that you have to be with the company in order to receive it...you leave, you lose. Only half of the employees qualified, which is curious. I know a lot of people left after they restructured they pay plan and the hew hires get their $1000 bonus so I'm confused as to how it saves them money. I guess they are thinking they are about to have another exodus when the bonuses are given out and the new people won't be there long enough to qualify for the next quarterly bonus.
d~~~~> scratching my head
Anybody heard of
Any information would be helpful. TIA
Yea, but what is said and what is heard are different. NM
NM
I heard that!
Just a few that get to me...along with the phrase "24/7, 365"... Not sure why that one gets on my nerves, but it does! "Team player" is another one! and the best yet...to me, my boss uses the phrase that she is going to "tickle" something...meaning mark it for future reference (I think).. not really sure about that phrase either!
Must not have done much. I never heard of it and I'm okay this a.m.
I usually get socked by everything down the pike with my AVG.
What is it about? Never heard of it.
nm
I have never heard of them, but you should
try posting this on the companies board and maybe someone there can help. Also, it might not be soon enough for you. Try googling the words "opinions on Entente Health Care" and that might help. Good luck!
Never heard of them. Sorry. nm

Yes I have heard of this, but the
pay was very low.
I have heard that it is about 85%
85% for no spaces compared to spaces being counted. Not sure if that is a correct number. I know there is a chart somewhere that breaks it all down.
Never heard of them
That is odd. I live in Arkansas and have never heard of them. Are they new? Let us know if you do hear anything about them.
I have not heard of this before? Can you tell us more.
and in fact wondered to myself about specializing in maintaining flower gardens for the sick and elderly who haven't the strength to do it but want it just the same.
I have never heard of these, but this is exactly what I need. I'm going to ask about them. Have
xx
sorry I mean heard
nm
I heard that also
I believe it has something to do with benefiting farmers and their crops, but I could be wrong. I think that was the reason it got started in the first place.
I heard about them
I heard about this company, giving all their work to India and not paying any one on time. Please be aware of this guys!
I have never heard of that but perhaps...sm
Hibiclens would be better than Betadine, I would think....plus Betadine stains and Hibiclens does not. *S*
Fresh blade to shave that area though - I know this because I no longer have the bumps since using the fresh blades.
