Well you gave her a fair chance, asked her to stop. It's a shame she didn't take the chance. n

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.

Any comments on Cymed? I've just been offered a job there but want to be sure before I quit my other job.

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.
Anyone ever heard of CyMed?
Wondering if it is a good company?
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
Does anyone work for Cymed - How is it?

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
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

You are probably right. If I were looking for a job, I would not take the chance with this one. nm

Is your dad by any chance (sm)
a less than happy camper when he wakes up in the morning? Maybe moving a little too fast in the morning? Maybe Snoopy is avoiding dad when dad's adrenaline is pumping, but doesn't see a problem when dad is kicked back and relaxed.
Then there's the off chance that...
The person who posted wasn't "Joan Berre," but was trying to potentially cause trouble for her. I would hate to think that anyone would do that, but it's possible.
I have a chance (m)
to go to work in-house for $17/hour. The problem is it's a 2 hour drive each way for me. I have a car that gets great gas mileage. Would you do it?
By any chance was it... (sm)
Proficient Transcription? There have been numerous complaints about this so-called company. They may be under a different name by now but the owner's name was Donna. She had people give her money to buy equipment they could buy themselves and then would give them next to nothing in terms of work and then not pay for what they did. Just curious if this was the same.
IMO...not a chance. No way, no how.
I beat VR with my own standards and templates, but it's still nowhere near that. On the most excellent of days with the perfect dictators and best templates I can get 550/hour. But again..that's a lot of template/expander help.
Not a chance....
Especially if termination was through no fault of your own, and was due to their own internal structuring.
Make their loss, your gain, and don't look back.
You can do better.
By chance is this MT Daily?
.
Give MQ a chance...
Isn't it just possible that after all is said and done, and after all the changes, MQ may very well be a much better company to work for? Perhaps closing all these millions of branches (and the wildly different management styles, i.e. Columbus versus Amherst) will result in a more streamlined, consistent company where there is consistency across the board? Trimming the fat can be a good thing, U know. Personally I think Amherst is on borrowed time - a soon-to-be relic of the bad old days when nothing was done the same way from branch to branch. After all the dust settles, MQ just MIGHT be an excellent place to work again - but at least we should hear them out and give them the chance to prove it. Just my 2.5 cents...
Any chance it is something along the line of... sm
glioependymal cyst, meningeal cyst,
Are you by any chance from Alaska?
Or do you mean just because it gets dark early because of the time change. I've heard of people in Alaska with the night being so long using that light for depression, but that's really the only time I've heard of it.
That is good. I would never take a chance sm
with my pets. Cats are felines. Dogs are canines. Two different species. What works on one "could" kill the other in some instances. Just check pet poison control centers. Maybe same chemicals in some instances, but different formulas entirely. 
I had a chance to sign up.
My ex-employer was into it. There were some local people who did well with it and were in that upper group. Also, I had the opportunity to check out some of the tapes without buying. I still never found the money to get started. Now I am glad I didn't.
No. She had her chance and didn't win.
Now if she's unable to try out due to an injury, that's too bad. No one else would be given the luxury of not having to try out and still getting on the team. She already got to to go the Olympics, so give someone else a chance!
Do you by any chance use Benadryl or
anything containing diphenhydramine? I don't have RLS, but when I use the above to help me sleep I have it really bad. Just in case you do use it, I thought I'd let you know. Good luck!
I agree with you. You only get one chance
to make a first impression. If 5 people come in for the job all w/the same credentials, I would pick the one w/the neatest appearance. At K-Mart he's probably going to doing something where customers can see him. I insist on my son wearing clean, pressed slacks or jeans and a shirt w/a collar.
If given the chance would you go hourly or ... sm
stay production if the pay per hour was around $15 with no opportunity to make more per hour or as an employee with incentive and all you were making a minimum of 9.5 cents per line? Is it better to make a little less but know exactly what you are going to make each week or just go for the ability to make more and hope you are able to stay productive. Thanks.
I would jump at the chance....

Give the kid a chance....
she has to start somewhere. If you are as good as you say then you will be an excellent trainer for her and will be rewarded for teaching her the ropes. IMHO you sound kind of threatened by this and I have to wonder why. Be nice and help her along in becoming great transcriptionist.
Would you by chance work for
MD-IT
I speed them up every chance I get!
I have a chance to get an account but I need a VPN.
I googled and found some information and from what I understand it is very simple to setup and basically like setting up any connection to the internet. Is it really that easy?
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
Are you talking VR by any chance?
If you are I have done the same group now for over 15 years, first straight and then VR. I do not see as to where there has been any change whatsoever in their speech, lack of, changing for the better and so on. I will say this, years ago in the 80s I worked at a hospital and did some outside work for a group of internists. One physician there was a horrible dictator; however 1 day he dictated in his office his own personal note to the bank regarding HIS money and it was unbelievably clear, no garbling, did not have to strain to hear him so they can do better, I know. Having said that, I have noticed no difference in their using a machine as to using the MTers- they basically just do not care (the majority, that is). What I hear on VR now is what I have heard for years and years, same ole.
No Admin here but think U should have chance
