Spheris training question - MT10
Posted: Jan 05, 2010
I thought about applying with Spheris, but I know the training is for a full week. Would I be chained to my desk for 40 hours straight? How does the training go?
I would not work for them. They are a - sinking ship

Yes, there is a full week of training. It is 8 hours a day for 5 days. You are paid $9.75 an hour for this. While the trainer is holding the seminar, you have to sign in. They have you log in to a program where you click on a hand to show them you are there. They send you a microphone and earphones so you can participate and ask questions.

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 ...

Had nightmares about my company last night. I was told to go in the office of my boss and do some punishment work. I sat there in front of this blank computer, would not turn on, and something said to sit in her chair, since she was not there, and start opening all the books and do the worksheets about what a bad person/MT I was. Then, she popped up in the back of the office in black. Scary, evil woman! She said terrible things, and just as I kept telling myself thi ...
Is there anyone out there who has worked for Spheris and other large companies? If so, how does Spheris compare? Looking for other opportunities, but don't want to end up in a worse situation :) In particular, has anyone worked for both Spheris and Webmedx?
thanks ...

By closing the curtains on its finances, Spheris has opened the door to speculation regarding its future. Whispers range from a sale to a bankruptcy, with the former gaining steam in the past week after a blogger in India reported competitor Cbay Systems Ltd. had struck a deal to buy Spheris’ operations in that country.
Both Spheris and Cbay declined to address the potential sale. Spheris has ...
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? ...
I'm not sure if this is a good move for me, especially after reading an article on them that was linked from this board. Recruiter says they have loads of work, but they seem really regimented. Anyone work for them and want to share? Thanks. ...
Can any one shed light on whether Spheris MT and Editors are let go because of their fire sale to MedQuist? Are they losing any accounts? Which ones?
Help please. ...
Ok, Spheris wants to schedule a phone interview. I have not taken a test as of yet. Has anyone been interviewed without testing? Is the testing after the interview or do they not test or what?
I know, why would I consider working for them? No job, that's why. Need part-time job. ...
I have recently quit my position with Spheris and want to know who to contact regarding getting our 401K or how to get a hold of this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! ...
Can anyone tell me if I were to survive the MQ buy out and was actually hired by MQ but "things" changed quite a bit, would I be eligible to draw unemployment? ...
I know they are going through a transition, but I accepted--I need a job. I just can't pass up their training program. As far as any upcoming changes, I will deal with it as it comes. ...
I have a phone interview with them in April. I noticed there were posts about them going bankrupt, etc. I'm fairly new to this, and need a job right away. ...
