Pros

Equipment and resource programs provided. Flexible hours and working at home. Benefits, even though high medical deductibles, but better than none.

Cons

Compensation at Spheris is ridiculously low. I made minimum wage the first 2 years, working very hard. Finally, got up to a decent $12-14/hour, and when the company instituted speech recognition with a lower pay rate for SR jobs, I'm back to around $8 to 9/hour. Lousy pay, in addition to having to be "on call" for holidays when there is no work and having to to take your paid time off if you want to get paid, is tremendously frustrating and discouraging. Also, no pay when the programs mess up, i.e., transcriptist "pay" in lost time and dollars for technical difficulties, and there are many.

Pros

Bennies are good. Work-from-home flexibility. Can choose what hours to work, and can change those whenever necessary.

Cons

Pay increases are unheard of. Been here for 10+ years and I'm making less now than I did when I started. No paid holidays; we have to use our accrued PTO (paid time off) hours if we want to get paid for taking a day off, even if it's a national holiday. No bennies for PT workers. No company match for 401K (they took that away recently due to the economy).
