Work from home, as self-employed means you get to choose your working hours as they cannot legally force you to work certain hours.
Cons
no benefits, stagnant rates, no opportunity for growth. I suggest you divert you career choice to something else completely as you do not feel valued as an interpreter even though you as an interpreter are the pillar of foundation for their company.

Thank you for your 5-star review and for the more than one year you have been part of our team in Monterey. We are glad to hear that you feel supported by a well-organized company, as we strive to provide a structured and professional environment for our interpreters. We also appreciate your perspective on same-day assignments; flexibility is often part of the meaningful work we do to support clients when they need language access most. Thank you for the important role you play in delivering quality interpretation services.
Fifteen seconds to recover between stressful calls. The health insurance they offer is super expensive for the poorly paid for hours you get. It does not match. Micromanage everything, constant supervised and not a proper guidance after being pointed the errors of the week.
Extreme poorly paid for the higher quality of job that they want. The company charges 3 or 4 dollars for minute, but an interpreter gets paid 15 an hour before taxes. See the difference?
Days off unpaid always. Not fair. Not even during sickness, grief or personal emergencies.
