Pros

Hardly anything besides helping you with your vocabulary They hire from several places around the world (because they know they can exploit their work for hardly any cash)

Cons

You are constantly harassed by QA even when you do a good job because every QA has their own way of interpeting things and even if you do as a oreviuos QA said another one will tell you otherwise amd say it was wrong, you are also receiving calls back to back because they grab more clients than what they should amd since no one likes being overworked and constantly harassed it really makes you want to quit after a short while. Its obvious why they are always hiring :/ If you work outside of the US and have national holidays you can say goodbye to those, ironically they tell you to be culture broker when needed but they don't really care about your cultures or traditions

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.
