Pros

None. This company is very bad.

Cons

Terrible company. You answer calls every 15 seconds for a wide range of industries (medical, insurance, law, education, pharmaceutical). You don’t have the ability to screen calls or focus on any one area of expertise. The client has a “clean desk” policy meaning you're not allowed to have anything open in your computer, including glossaries so you have to be an expert in everything, including highly technical or specific terminology in a wide range of fields. There is no support whatsoever besides a “contact agent” option where you can transfer the call if there is an issue but are warned if you transfer too many calls you can be fired. You have no manager, no team, and no one to help you. You have forced overtime because you're not allowed to log out of the phone system until the last second of your shift so if you get a call 1 minute before the end of your shift and it lasts for an hour, well too bad for you. Even worse, most employees are hired through the dreaded Kelly Services who still thinks we live in the 1950s and tells you you’ll need a doctor’s note for an absence. The real cherry on the cake though is when you find out they charge 240 for an hour of interpreting but pay you only 15, less than people make working at my local grocery store (no disrespect to them but they aren't answering 911 calls). Run away from this company.

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.
