Transcend will go the way of Edix
when they pulled the huge pay cut on their platform and struggled until the company was sold, MQ who had very innovative ways to cheat their employees and their customers and is in trouble. This is all about $$$ in their pocket - make a big profit early and then leave the company and let it fall apart.
I worked for them when they were Edix and
they were terrible to work for. You couldn't even scratch your arse without them calling and asking why you weren't typing and I have heard that it has gotten worse since they became Spheris.
Spheris, did it used to be EDIX

Spheris/Edix, sm
After working for this company for 6 months and not being able to achieve my normal line count, I started snooping if you will into their computer system and found MT line count and line count (not verbatim but like that). The mt line count was lower than the line count. Sure enough, every report was about 35% lower in that regard. Even a friend of mine saw the same decrease in her line count and we both could not figure it out. I asked my supe about and she said someone would get back to me. Guess what, no one ever did. We both quit.
You are just another victim of that company. Sorry!!!
Spheris Edix side
Notice how you didn't get any responses? That's because there aren't any good things to say about Spheris.
Used to work for Edix - how is Spheris?
Hi,
Used to work for Edix. How is Spheris? Have been out of the field for a few years due to health issues. Want to hear it all - good and bad. Thanks,
Hopeful MT
That was me and Edix fired me due to chemo
.
The old Edix, before they put in the new platform, and before they were sold.
Team leaders were professional, they kept the team members informed of what was going on within the company, made sure the full time employees had enough work, and went the extra mile to provide samples for difficult dictators. It was as close to working in an office as you could get without actually being in an office. If they called you, there were no interruptions or background noise from family/animals, etc. Business was business. They were flexible. We got feedback monthly on our performance. After they changed platforms, everything changed and information was top secret so we were treated like mushrooms. I think most of the good team leaders left at that time, too.
That might have worked when co was still Edix, things are different

Edix versus Spheris
I worked for Edix a number of years ago, but I never worked for Spheris after Spheris bought out Edix. Is there anyone who worked for Edix and did not leave when Edix was sold who could tell me what changes were made and if they are worth working for. I saw some posts below about not being able to make the line count for the day. Is this a sign that things are not good with Spheris?
Is Edix former management at Transcend?

Oh, yeah, I still do have the Edix cookbook...
and yeah, I do remember a cookie jar; I believe that went to the local thrift store. Yep, former Edix employee.
when I worked at Edix ... (now spheris) (sm)
when they were trying to get more hospital accounts within a system, they would promise them the moon and assign an absurd number of MT's to my accounts ... so that I got virtually NO work on my regular accounts and had to ask for more accounts -- which became time consuming and more importantly NERVE WRACKING to work on so many relatively new accounts all at once -- again -- some of which I got very little work on .... (very different from really learning one or two accts, adding another -- learning that -- then adding another -- truly I was a wreck -- oh and my line count truly sucked -- so when I saw there was an opening at a local MTSO, I lept ... I was stressed out and making no money ... and I had been on these teaching hospital accounts (my favorite) for over 5 years ... sad)
That's what the message above about accounts up for renewal (as in contracts) meant ... in my case, Edix hoped to get more hospitals in this national chain (most national hospital chains, I think, use more than one service so that if something happens they aren't completely left in a lurch) -- at the time I left probably almost 10 years ago, Edix also had a VERY unstable platform that was down a great deal ... trust me -- it was hell
Can someone offer anything good to say about EDIX side
of Spheris. I really need this job, but I have heard some not so good things about EDIX side of Spheris. Also, there are no recent posts regarding EDIX, so can someone offer up their good experience with them. The last I read, they do not pay for spaces and dock for errors. I am not looking for a fight on this board. I just want someone's elses opininion on EDIX side of Spheris. I really appreciate this and I thank you and god bless.
Sounds like they haven't changed much since they were Edix.
That was the biggest waste of time for me. I literally would be at my desk on and off for 12 hours to try to get 8 hours of work. We got the same excuse, holiday slowdown. BS is right! Hello! Halloween is not a holiday that people take off and vacation for. They were sending as much of that work to India as they could. Of course they asked us for a list of the worst dictators on our account, which we foolishly provided. A few weeks later, that is all I would get, the worst of the worst. They sent the best dictators to India, and we had to fight for the scraps of crap that was left. Get out, get out now, don't wait. Best thing I did was quit that job. It will suck you dry, monetarily and emotionally.
I can certainly remember Edix and the change to Spheris....
Hi Miss Willy..I certainly remember the Edix days. I LOVED Edix and haven't found a company that truly yet matches what they were and how much they appreciated their MTs. I stayed through the switch, unfortunately, and then left just a little bit later. Spherix really was not the best place to be. Maybe it was because of the changes, but I really disliked it and had to get away. Probably should be grateful that we are both out of there, because they are a global company now.
reCan someone offer anything good to say about EDIX side
There is not an EDIX side. It is one company Spheris.
I left EDiX/Spheris after 8 years there to come to Webmedx. SM
I moved over here in 2003 because I knew the recruiter and she told me it was a great place to work. She was right. The benefits are fair, the work plentiful, the bosses fantastic, and the QA staff wonderful. Good luck!
I have worked for MQ, Spheris back when it was Edix, Transcend and OSI. TransTech is by far the bes
The pay is decent, probably not the highest in the business but not the lowest either. The benefits are good. Pay is always on time. Great bonuses. Great communication and most of all I really like the people and it makes me enjoy being an MT again.
EDiX ...hated the platform, absent mgmt, no support.
........................................
EDiX--hand's down. A 4-letter, totally dysfunctional outfit. nm

If you made a graph of all the things taken away by Edix/Speris in the last 5 years.....
You would be shocked, although it has been 6 years since it started.....
first charging for errors, about 6 years ago (they stopped that), then insurance changed for the worst, regrading hospitals to their advantage so you would make at least 200. to 300 less a pay period, the list is long, long, long. I can go back 6 years up to 2 years ago when I finally left.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
