Pros

You expand your vocabulary and learn on each call. Pay was decent to start. Easy hire process.

Cons

1) To strict especially for a call center environment with cameras everywhere. You can't have more then two pictures at ur cubicle you can't decorate it and that to me is depressing when you have to sit there all day everyday especially when you work 10hour shifts. You can't have paper on your desk when you go to the bathroom, you can't take long at the bathroom minimal break times. Calls come in one after the other no time to regroup after a stressful call. Supervisors: the are and higher cubicles and they monitor your calls but that is not an issue the issue is the intimidate the crap out of you because if you say for example "he put" instead of "he placed" or if the client says "take one pill and the other during the morning" and you translate saying "take both pills in the morning" you will get written up because they want word per word regardless if you are saying the same thing. The supervisor will place you phone on meeting after ur call ends for you to go to their high cubicle where then look down on u from to tell you that u are getting written up. If you get 3write ups u lose ur job. It is to damn stressful. It's hard to concentrate on ur call when you hear that beep letting u know someone is monitoring ur call and u can't afford to lose your job especially not over a word or sentence that is saying the same thing just not how they want it. Hr sucks. Not professional at all, hardly available and ur issues don't really matter to them. This company makes you feel like you're nothing. Just another chicken laying eggs and if u don't lay your eggs perfectly off to the slaughterhouse you go.

Pros

nice facility (new york queens center) great training program, Paid! 3 weeks! courteous management the company try to make employees feel they are appreciated it is a good transitional job, or first job out of college leave your job at work, never take work home

Cons

heavy work load if your target language is a busy one i.e. Chinese, Spanish high personnel turn over rate, many left within 6 month confusing regulation regarding punctuality no sick leaves, if you are sick, take it out of your paid vacation days pay is low, even though 16.50 is highest in the company, but in NYC, it is nothing office politics, yes for under 40K a year and you still have to endure office politics health benefits are a joke, high deductible health insurance, $3200 per person, what do I need you for?

Pros

•You learn a lot about many subjects. •On the job training. •The job is easy, relatively, depending on how your mind works. •Some of your coworkers are amazing people with kind and loving hearts. •There is at least one good manager, (Brenda Servin). •The pay is decent if you have bills to pay. •You pick your initial schedule. •Overtime is available. •Health benefits are available after 3 months.

Cons

•Trainers act shady, as in they don't tell you or teach you exactly how things work and function. •Shrinkage hurts your bonus and overall performance, meaning you could be an amazing interpreter but if you have any sort of personal thing to do at all, including bowel movements or urination, your "performance" goes down the drain. •If you have a scheduled break but a call goes into your break it hurts your Shrinkage, it's not even your fault, you're doing your job. •You feel like you can't talk to anyone other than the customers. •Loneliness. •You're a machine to them, not an individual. •Very few and very short breaks. •You can't grow in the company until you've been there a certain amount of time. Even if you show potential until then. •The job is repetitive, you do it like walking or breathing, so at times you have a lot of time to think, which can be bad. •Can't change your schedule for 6 months. Unless there's a life or death situation, and even then you have to bring proof.
