Pros

i wish i could list at least one thing, but literally none

Cons

- company is understaffed - interpreters are grossly underpaid - hard to get time off - no holiday pay - when you have to work OT without agreeing to it in advance, sometimes they make sure to give you time off during that pay period, so you don't get your OT pay (and you have no say in this)

Furthermore, LLS uses a strict standard of call handling protocol that has been refined over the past nearly 40 years and has been evaluated and validated by numerous outside agencies.

Pros

Providing communications help for health care, insurance, beginning of life, end of life, counseling, IT. Among the highest minutes in the industry. Great record keeping, and pay is only 7 days after the close of every month. The annual training as well as recertification is paid events. Offers relative independence, after several audits, if you comply with excellence in customer service, you are pretty much on your own.

Cons

The minute rate is among the lower side among language companies. Find that while you can gain lots of successful advice from the company bulletin board, but offering advice is often better to those in authority.

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.
