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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I am busily updating my resume while my new (NO) Rewards package from MQ sits next to the trash. Looking over ads in the job board, several I am interested said "need software for DSS files." I feel really stupid here and am not sure what is DSS files or the software needed. I am ashamed to ask. I am a good MT but after so long with MQ I have not had to look for a job in many, many years so feel out of the loop so to speak.

DSS = Digital Speech Standard. Simply the format the voice file is in. Some recorders use memory sticks, memory cards, flash cards, etc. Just depends on what make of hand-held they are using as to what format the voice file is in. As BayGirl said, most software plays them without problem. I use WavPlayer and have not had one I could not play yet, or could not get a free plug-in download to play them.
