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).

Pros

Working from home is a definite plus. The company provides the equipment and software necessary to do the job. Another plus is being able to flex your schedule should the need arise.

Cons

Compensation at Spheris is poor. I am making less now than I did 9 years ago and working harder. When questioned about possible pay rate increases, the company responds with "work harder and you will make more money." A few years ago we had a good health insurance and vision insurance package but that was changed to less coverage for more money on the employees part. Also, recently the company stopped contributing to our 401-K plan. The company instituted speech recognition with a lower pay rate for SR jobs than transcribed jobs which is totally unfair as the SR jobs often take longer.
