Pros

Work from home. That's it.

Cons

The pay is more than the minimum but they grind you to the bone. You get non-stop calls with barely a chance to breathe in between. There are different "pay scales" where some are not paid Vacation, Sick and Holiday (even when working on a Holiday). Overtime Pay is dependent on the state where you live, and in most cases, when one doesn't reach 80 work hours in a pay period, you don't get paid overtime even if you worked beyond your normal working hours in a day. You have to log out to use the bathroom - and those minutes are deducted from your pay check. Communication is one of the worst - you don't know what's going on until the last minute. You either get information extremely delayed, like a month or so, after they have implemented something or you don't get any response at all. There is no real training - you train on the job. If you do need to undergo some kind of so-called training, not only do you not get compensated, you also have to do it outside of your work hours.

Thank you for your 5-star review and for the more than one year you have been part of our team in Monterey. We are glad to hear that you feel supported by a well-organized company, as we strive to provide a structured and professional environment for our interpreters. We also appreciate your perspective on same-day assignments; flexibility is often part of the meaningful work we do to support clients when they need language access most. Thank you for the important role you play in delivering quality interpretation services.

Pros

Stay home. That's all. Nothing else.

Cons

Fifteen seconds to recover between stressful calls. The health insurance they offer is super expensive for the poorly paid for hours you get. It does not match. Micromanage everything, constant supervised and not a proper guidance after being pointed the errors of the week. Extreme poorly paid for the higher quality of job that they want. The company charges 3 or 4 dollars for minute, but an interpreter gets paid 15 an hour before taxes. See the difference? Days off unpaid always. Not fair. Not even during sickness, grief or personal emergencies.
