Pros

obviously it's convenient to work from home, saving time and money and the hassle of commuting, ongoing support with technical troubleshooting, intuitive interpreter portal that is easy to navigate, a wealth of resources in the proprietary Library available to all interpreters 24/7, observations sessions by amazing Senior Linguist staff which are always genuinely intended to assess and improve performance with objective and constructive feedback, ability to pick up extra hours

Cons

Compulsory change from over the phone to video interpreting, once a paychecks reflected over a $100 less than actually earned, took over a month to get Payroll to respond and fix the issue, but there was not a hint of an apology for shorting the interpreter, this incident makes it necessary to count all minutes for every day to ensure that you're getting paid for all the time you've worked and takes around 2 hours to tally up; while you do get 80 hours of Unpaid Time Off, there is absolutely NO paid time off/vacation time, you get 40 hours sick time for FT, and 20 hours sick pay for part time employment per year, no health insurance for PT

Over the phone interpreter

Pros

Work at home, fairly good wage compare to other jobs. Fairly easy to get a job and good new hire training

Cons

Very emotionally stressful. No break between calls, interpreters couldn't even take a sip of water. Clients are usually very pushy and LEPs tend to dodge questions and/or providing irrelevant information; clients end up blaming interpreters for bad translation. Very tiring and muscles were all tensed up at the end of each shift

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I want to assure you that we are always looking at hiring more interpreters so that action is in progress. I’m very sorry to hear the reasons for the change and I take them to heart. The fact that you have left the company does not make your feedback any less valuable. Please feel free to contact my office so that we can exchange ideas and keep this conversation going. I would like to hear more of your feedback.
