LanguageLine Solutions Interpreter/Translator reviews

The workload is immense. In Canada, you get barely above the minimum wage for a job where you have to have a very specific skill- KNOW the language. You work from home, but they would send threatening emails if you have any noise during calls (kids, TVs, family members cough, sneeze). You cannot go to the bathroom unless you clock out, but you cannot clock out more than three times. All employees treat interpreters like they are less than others, although they literally hold this place afloat. Any suggestions or concerns get dismissed (if you are lucky). If not, then they will blame you. I was told that our clients are the firms that pay us, and I shouldn't care about the person who doesn't speak English. Lastly, the senior interpreters who will contact you with feedback will put a ridiculous amount of pressure on you (e.g., if you interpret incorrectly, then the surgeon will remove an incorrect organ).
