Worst job ever and one of the most abusive companies I've had to work with out of necessity

Interpreter/translator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

they don't have any thing nice worth saying after almost 3 years of abuse. I just hope glassdoor doesn't erase this to help them. anyone looking for a job in this company living outside of the United States be warned.

Cons

- awful poverty salary, less than 500 dollars a month for 8 hours of the most stressful, abusive, demanding job ever. - they love to outsource people in other countries with bad economies, they do this through the use of other third party companies to avoid back slash when they fire people because they wear them out and cause physical and mental harm from how abusive they are with their employees. - they don't pay any form of bonus/over time, If one of their also clients makes you stay longer than your shift, then it's too bad. - most of their are clients are extremely rude to the LLS employees, - they keep chaning your schedule around without any previous notice and cero concern on how this might after and impact employees personal time, life, and other responsibilities. - They have "supervisors" monitoring employees on calls all day, These supervisors seem to have an attitude more in line with that of an overseer than an actual supervisor. - Cero empathy and respect for the employees: personal time, physical and mental health. - every year during the months of may and june, when there aren't back to back calls, they start firing employees to save money. "Why pay for 3 employees when 1 can do the job of 3 for the same salary." - No opportunity for growth with in the company for any other position aside from being an overworked and underpaid interpreter.

LLS uses a strict standard of call handling protocol that has been refined over the past 42 years and has been validated by numerous outside agencies, including “Great Place to Work.” Our partners have the same commitment. We take particular objection to the assertions. Unfortunately, it was not a good fit for you. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Pros

They have pretty decent training program.

Cons

Back to back call flows are crazy. Employees are exposed to emergency situations under high pressure. But there are no treatment or after care support for interpreter’s mental care.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As professional interpreters, it is incumbent upon us to ensure equal language access for all LEP’s, even during a difficult call. We appreciate your feedback. We do offer support after difficult calls and it is unfortunate you were unable to utilize the support team. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Can We Please Get Better Health Insurance?

Interpreter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home. Remote. Flexible.

Cons

Full time interpreter here in a high-demand language. The company only gives us a MEC (minimum essential coverage) health insurance plan. It does NOT cover the costs of anything diagnostic, procedures, surgery, labor and delivery, or any medical emergency. You are only covered for preventative vaccines like flu shots, COVID shot, and basic routine check, nothing else. So, it's very scary and anxiety-ridden to work here, because if you get sick, you're screwed. I am only able to "afford" to work here because I am on my spouse's health insurance plan that's sponsored by his government job. In a word, this health insurance plan is NOT sustainable for keeping employees here. What about those interpreters who don't have a spouse like me that they can rely on for health insurance. What are they supposed to do? Buyer beware: This is the #1 reason why employees leave LLS. This company is completely eliminating it's candidate pool by not offering a strong health insurance plan for employees. Based on the current job market, interpreters at other companies are provided real health insurance plans. My question for leadership is: Can full time employees please get the option to get a better health insurance plan in 2024?
