Spheris - another Medquist - missindale


Posted: Jan 30, 2010

I had an interview with Spheris yesterday.  It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential?  And better insurance too.  Okay. I worked for MQ.  My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything).  So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris?

Yep, another MQ! - anon

You would jumping into a fire that may be a tad bit smaller, but just as hot and noncaring. It's your decision, of course, but my only comment is this: If you liked MQ, you'll love Spheris......

Check out MQ board - Foz

Under the title " More bad news for MQ MT/MEs" they posted a link about Spheris. Might want to read this first.

Better insurance? I work for Spheris and the insurance is terrible. - Nancy

As it seems to be morphing into one giant company, something akin to a monopoly, you might as well join us.

Spheris MTs
Nov 10, 2009

Hey Spheris MTs out there.  I worked for Spheris for a while not too long ago but quit for another company.  Nothing wrong with Spheris at all, just love the new company flexibility much, much more.  I loved the expander program Spheris used (Shorthand 10.0) so much that I ended up buying the program to use on my new job.  Problem is there are so many tips and tricks that Spheris provided for using Shorthand 10.0 that I never got to put into action and quit before I thou ...
