TSSC
Good folks to work for and good folks to work with. If you think I'm saying this because I type for them, you're wrong. I did, though, for a short period of time, am not anymore because of email foul-ups, but I do not have one bad word to say about that company. Check was always in the bank as promised. I never had an assigned account per se, which was my only problem with them, but I think that was rather a special case and no fault of theirs or mine.
If you're an IC, TSSC is the place to be.
TSSC???
In response to post below - what is TSSC? I am an IC and need more work.
TSSC! nm

What was awful about them? I was thinking of applying.
TSSC?
Anyone work/worked for TSSC here? I did a search but only came up with posts from a year or more ago. Any current info out there? I'm looking for something part time to supplement my other account. Things seem to have dried up here again with one account, kind of difficult to just relax and take the free time to prepare for the holidays when I need the money in order to do that! TIA!
Anyone know about TSSC??
Does anyone have any experience with TSSC???
TSSC, LLC
Does anyone know if TSSC, LLC provides equipment to transcriptionists? Any other info would be great. I'm not finding much on the boards about them.
TSSC
if you can handle being nitpicked daily for 90 days and working on crappy dictators, they are great!
TSSC
I've worked for TSSC for almost 3 years and love it! It's a great company to work for and I have no complaints.
TSSC
I work for TSSC and highly recommend them. They don't have pools, so you get to become accustomed to the same doctor(s). They are easy to work with, i.e., if you need more work or less work, they can adjust your work load with no problem. Pay is 1st and 15th, direct deposit, always on time (if not early). I have typed many, many dictators over the years (7) and think they have a supply of good dictators. Any other questions, I'd be happy to answer. They are also good at giving feedback.
Hey TSSC......
I realize and understand why the MTs are upset about the pay cut. That being said, you don't know the technicalities of the whole situation. I personally don't think that if your account was not one that was being reduced, then your pay should not be reduced. But that is my opinion. I am also amazed that there are people out there that actually pay more than 10 cpl!
That being said....I am currently working part time for a company for 8 cpl (which satisfies me), and I am looking for another typing position to offer me work every day. I would be happy to rescue some of you from your 8 and 9 cpl hell for a little more work every day. I would just be grateful to have the extra income at this point.
Jobs are not easy to come by these days guys....be grateful that you have a job because the only alternative would be to start your own MT company, and we all know that takes money. So, it puts you between a rock and a hard place and it sucks, I agree. But keep in mind that there are people out there that would happily take your jobs and not fuss about it.

TSSC. Opinions, please? nm
Does anyone have web address for TSSC?
Thanks
TSSC is hiring.
I know that TSSC is hiring now. They have an ad on the Job board. Truly a great company to work for if you want to still work as an IC but get the accounts and get paid on time. No bennies, but definitely worth the accounts. They have direct deposit now also.
TSSC definitely worth it. sm
I just started with TSSC 6 months ago. I think it was the best move I could make. I have assigned accounts. I know when my work is coming and don't have to worry about it being given to someone else. Pay is never an issue. They have direct deposit and set paydays. No waiting for the check to come.
TSSC is great!
I've worked for TSSC for 2 years now and they are awesome! It's a small company and the owners are great to work for. The accounts are assigned so you're able to build up your line count quicker. Direct deposit and never late. I'd give it a try!
Any info on TSSC, LLC
Could not find many posts on this company. Thanks.
Anyone here work for TSSC?
Just wondering why I sometimes get responses that include times of prior e-mails. It's almost like they are on the defensive. I have never encountered this type of communication and am having trouble making sense of it. I don't need a history of communication, who did what when is not necessary for such minor requests and I find it particularly confusing. I feel like I'm bothering them or something. Anyone else feel like they are imposing? I haven't worked there long but like it so far. Wish I knew why communication was so different. Maybe it's because they've grown so fast, could just be incredibly busy I guess.
TSSC starting pay
And, I believe their starting pay is 8 cpl (65 char w/spaces). I believe they are hiring currently.
TSSC stands for?
Sorry, I don't know all the company names by their initials.
TSSC invo
Normally, TSSC uses no platform. Just download files and type in your Word with your expanders, etc. However, I was checking out this Avreo system myself and have just asked Tracie some production questions. Also, I see that she is offering 9 cpl, instead of 8, for this particular account. (This is the only account that I know of that uses a platform.) Will updated when I get more info.
TSSC - are they IC only? Their website gives no info at all. nm

Any information on TSSC--Bad or Good
Anyone know anything about this company??
TSSC is a wonderful co to work for for ICs. sm

TSSC of South Carolina
Any info regarding this company? Nothing on the boards and cannot find website.
Any current info on TSSC?
Starting pay? Anything? Thanks!
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it. TSSC works for some people, for some it does not.
TSSC is hiring now, Great company. NM

Anyone out there work for TSSC- Transcription Solutions
of South Carolina. I tested and would like to have some info before going further. Thanks!
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm
Hear, hear! Read My Opinion's opinion.
Regarding Wondering's question, the company I work for is investing strongly in upgrading its MTs' and editors' skill levels (exactly what this says about need for us for ten years down the road I can't say). This morning I found an e-mail saying they would pay every one of us to attend an on-line class on making Expander macros to increase our productivity. Amazingly, I have to assume many employees were choosing not to attend the unpaid ones they had been offering...
opinion
Best company to work for as an IC. I have been with them for 4 years. I could not imagine working anywhere else! Management is great! Never has a paycheck been late. Growing by leaps and bounds!
Opinion
I've been at SS for 1 year now and am making decent at MT'ing. If you get a decent account and learn the ESLs you can make good $ - but watch out for the newbies- its hard and they change the rules constantly. There are new people making more than the old people and doing less for the money, management changes on a daily basis, and you never know who to write to because they don't send out updates or answer questions anyway.
Opinion
I would wonder if it wouldn't be illegal for a company to use such a program (on your personal PC) unless they provide you with some sort of privacy agreement for you to sign stating that they possibily could be monitoring your Keystrokes while logged into their software. I don't see how they could do this legally without first notifying you that they have the potential to do this. Without such notification, especially on your own PC, I would say this is illegal to do such a thing. But that's my opinion. I may be wrong.
In my opinion I like it better. nm

just my opinion
i think they're e.mail's are rude "big'hurry."
Opinion
This is simply the opinion of the person who wrote it. That does not mean you don't have the intelligence to make an informed decision. Obvious the person who wrote this had problems with 2 different companies. That particular person may have problems with any company they work for.
When you read these posts, keep in mind that if everyone agreed with all of these posts there would not be a transcription company in business anywhere.
I do not know about OSi but SoftScript has treated me well, as will most nationals if you give them your best effort. They want to hire good MTs and expect quality work. Give them that and you will be compensated fairly and treated well.
Likewise...this is simply my opinion. Take it or leave it.
Opinion
Forget company #3. The problems you mention are valid. Try another one.
As far as QA, it depend. You don't have the flexibility as much as being an MT. One thing I myself kind of miss.
If your getting tired of typing all day, QA is better.
If you enjoy helping others and answering numerous questions and can see yourself as a mentor and teach people everything you have learned and are adaptable to many kinds of formatting issues, than QA is a good choice.
Sounds like #1 or #2 are your better choices.
Hope this helps!
My own opinion
Keep in mind, to use MQ as a reference in the future, I would depart with them nicely. To just up and leave, in my opinion, is rude.
I realize that many people dislike MQ for various reasons, but I like them and have had a positive experience.
Again, I think it is only appropriate to give 2 weeks regardless of the situation, again solely because you want them to give you a good reference if need be!
Hope all works out!
SM for just an opinion.
I'm certainly not going to tell you it's impossible - if you do a good job on the test, they may decide to take a chance on you.
However, it seems a lot of them nowadays want either 2 years' experience or graduation from one of the Big 3 schools, and I've heard many say they have a tough time getting their foot in the door.
I would talk to your school and see what they recommend, who hires their graduates, letters of recommendation, etc - get whatever assistance you can from them.
Good luck!
Your opinion is just that ...
it is YOUR opinion. I have my own. We don't have to agree!
Kudos to you for 8 years and 7 years' service. ??? I didn't ask that. I asked if you are upset with the companies you leave?
I didn't make this personal -- you did with posting your opinion of Spheris.
I don't think I need an answer to my question; I think I already know.
I hope you enjoy wherever you are at. Enjoy your day!
My opinion
You asked, Did I handle this situation wrong? You stated, I feel like a heel for not giving my best.
My answer: Yes, you handled it wrong. You were not upfront and truthful with YOURSELF, let alone with the company. Once you heard the words about offshoring, you should have made your opinion and position known clearly, definitively, and strongly, not taken the tests, not pretended anything, and made fast work to beat a path to the front door, and not waste your time. Your behavior was passive-aggressive, i.e., you pretended, you were not truthful. You should have taken yourself out for lunch after speaking your mind and standing up for yourself. Next time, do things different and learn from this situation.
That's my opinion!
My opinion...
I've worked for them going on 4 years now and plan on staying. I've worked on the same accounts all 4 years (tough ESLs, but after awhile, you get them all and can get plenty of lines---plus nobody wants your accounts and work is plenty--something I have learned in my 25+ years). The pay is good, it's always accurate and on time, PTO is great, and I love not having someone over my shoulder all the time. I've done my rounds at other nationals and this has been my best experience. Each company is unique, you have to see what works best for you.
My opinion
If this sort of thing keeps up, I would most definitely start looking for another job. There's no excuse for any company to do such a thing. It's not right and highly unfair. The minute I found another job, I'd quit and not even give them notice for doing such a nasty thing!!
Everyone has an opinion and you are welcome
to yours but after 10 years of personal interaction with the woman, knowing her professionally and personally, you are wrong about her only being interested if you can help advance her situation. She is very industrious and hard working and I think all of these negative comments, well, it doesn't matter what I think about them as it will not bring any of you any peace.
My opinion...
Personally, if I was an employer, I would not want to hire someone that was not confident in what they were doing. State the facts about your experience. Let them worry about whether you have enough experience!
KS in my opinion.....sm
In my experience the KS platform is easy to use, my rad account has plenty of work and great communication with team lead. Pay is on time and plenty of opportunity to make money.
Be careful with expressing yourself and getting answers with X-Press. I went through the interview process with X-Press over a year ago, they sent me manuals, ready to start but when I emailed my lead, asking the usual few questions about the company, (basically to ease my mind since the hiring process was SO long and had been told conflicting things) she forwarded it to Mr. David and he in turn accused me of being a trouble maker and of slander! It was all very strange.
and that too is just an opinion and U know
