Pros

The people you meet, however, after training you do not see them anymore, they separate the training classes and you barely see a person, because you have to keep your head in your cubicle due to the high volume calls.

Cons

Low wage for Spanish speaking interpreters, eventhough, Spanish is the highest call volume. They do not care about the employees, fired people for any reason and they invite you again for training????? Who does that????? It's so fishy....What type of scam these people are running???? One good interpreter was laid off, because her car broke down and, eventhough, she BORROWED a car to go to work that day, because she was late, they let her go. But not in the morning, when she arrived, no, they let her work ALL DAY, and called her into HR (and everyone in the center knows that when they call you to HR, something is up--and everybody is looking at you, it is very embarrasing) and let her go. The interpreter said that they told her that the only valid excuse to be late was doctor's appointments, so if you are hired by Cyracom, God forbids, your car broke down, before you go to work. They will tell you: "Hasta la vista, baby" as soon as they can.

Flexible working hours. Will accommodate weekends schedule.

High call volume from different industries, which requires a broad knowledge from an interpreter.

Pros

In all of my professional career, the IT work here is the most laid back I have ever been with. Sadly, the fun was short-lived after we were sold out when the company was acquired by its rival Propio. They laid off the entire IT folks, dismantling this competition, retaining only less than ten from the whole organization. But it was a pleasure while it lasted. Too bad because their folks were easy going and management is mediocre but I learned a lot, plus it was what I needed in my situation, where I had to multitask working while taking care of personal matters, so it was a bonus.

Cons

Nothing really complicates my tenure here except some projects are really slow in implementation, lacking clear requirements and at some point I was shoved into something where there was really no discussion at all about a project and you just have to dig into it but I have experience so it was no sweat for me at all. There was also a point where I heard a lie about a project being complete but when I started working on it I just realized it was not even started at all and the other is not even deployed or existing so there you go I just had to keep silent and work on completing it. Plus Propio conned us by giving us false hope into thinking we get severance pay but it is not really severance pay instead they just tapped into the our state unemployment benefit and made it look like it is a severance pay. Unemployment benefit is not severance pay.
