I never want to be one of those people who say don't walk... run! But....many long-time Spheris employees are very unhappy right now, and have been for quite a while. My former team just had the last of our accounts sent over to India and most are moving to speech rec. Scheduling is not flexible at all, and making line count is difficult sometimes no matter what your personal average WPM. Pay is also extremely low, and almost insulting - especially for a seasoned MT who has already dedicated years to this profession. The hospital I worked for outsourced to them as well (back when they were Health Scribe almost 10 years ago). The job was wonderful - but when we became Spheris the job became anything but employee-oriented. I finally left and got a job as an IC through a company in Maryland - and I've never been happier. Wonderful accounts, complete control of my schedule (no set hours, just need to meet minimum line count, which I set myself) good starting pay w/ raises, and can schedule time off anytime it is needed. They also do not and will not send work overseas. I'd take the Spheris job if you need work immediately and they are making you an offer... but keep your options open and explore what else is out there. Flexibility was the deciding factor for me - I needed something that offered me complete control over my work day - and I've finally found this where I'm at now. |
