Shoot me an E here then
.
Well shoot me....didn't know
Like I said...I have never been here before and I DIDN'T KNOW.  So I apologize for whomever I offended, freaked out, whatever.  I didn't come on here to be attacked.  I have enough stress as it is.  I came to ask a simple question and I didn't KNOW I did anything wrong.  Can you back off now?
A crap shoot
Trust nothing from Spheris. You could luck out and get a decent manager and account, but it's a crap shoot. I don't have enough time, energy, or room to describe that circus. I can't believe most of them can sleep at night. Certainly you could find a few nice people and accounts to make your life tolerable, but suffice it to say, the culture is atrocious. I don't believe I ever received a straight answer from anyone in that place about anything of an important nature, and usually, the inquiries are just blatantly ignored. They could give a rip about the quality that goes to the client which made me crazy. Everyone is managed en masse. The platform I worked on was friendly. I can say that.
Shoot for at least 13-16 min an hour so you get at least...
$15 an hour. I make $19 to $25 an hour. It took me time to get to that amount and I had to get used to the account and set up my shortcuts, etc. Believe me, those minutes add up fast. You would have to type about 230 lines an hour every hour to make that on 8 cpl.
well then shoot yourself in the foot!
I'm telling you, these people are as honest as they come. I see the problems posted here, but one never knows all the details behind the post either. My experience says they are great to work with.
holy smokes .. shoot me!
I talk to people daily about transcription and I could not agree with you more .. what a sad state for professionalism.  You could be in the cellar transcribing in your undies, but I do not need to know this and most of the hard working MTs out there who daily do make a difference are offended by the visual.  Working remotely is not a given, but it is a boon to people with children, with disabilities, with limited access to a strong job market.  It does not mean that you do not take what you do seriously and that you give it your best.  I am so fortunate where I am to have a great team of people who work hard, turn around good work, keep their end of the bargain we make, and appreciate that they have a great situation and respect themselves for having achieved a great account, good pay, good feedback and employee status with good rates and benefits that are very affordable.  My intention is to keep it that way and thank heavens mostly I have my wits about me and choose carefully and well.  Our MTs are professionals and we thank our lucky starts for them each and every day.  The interesting thing is that I think that a recommendation for someone to come to work with you is the most sincere form of flattery and while we add to our ranks, I am getting so many referrals from our own MTs. 
It's basically a crap shoot, IMO

It sounds like you have a good impression of both companies, but the one seems to be more organized than the other.  Go with your gut.  I find that's a tactic that usually works well for me.


Good luck.  Hope whichever one you choose you end up liking it there.


They are so busy! I would shoot Deb or Wendy an email
nm
The recruiter was on vacation last week. Maybe shoot
s
Shoot, I wanted them to start picketing SM

outside the hospital and telling all the patients their work is going overseas - then I want them to find out the hospital has contracted with a service using only domestic help.


They've been sheltered in the hospital's arms for so long, they thing outsourcing means offshoring.  Come join us in the real world, dears, you have much to learn!


Let me check my paperwork and I'll shoot you an email. NM

I usually shoot off an e-mail when I have to make a quick trip
unless it will take longer than 10 mins or so.  I live in a small town so nothing takes much more than 10 mins!  They have NEVER micromanaged me and I highly doubt they will ever start unless I start to become some sort of slacker, which I won't. 
Shoot scuse my typos...tired...bad docs...long day...
