Pros

they don't have any thing nice worth saying after almost 3 years of abuse. I just hope glassdoor doesn't erase this to help them. anyone looking for a job in this company living outside of the United States be warned.

Cons

- awful poverty salary, less than 500 dollars a month for 8 hours of the most stressful, abusive, demanding job ever. - they love to outsource people in other countries with bad economies, they do this through the use of other third party companies to avoid back slash when they fire people because they wear them out and cause physical and mental harm from how abusive they are with their employees. - they don't pay any form of bonus/over time, If one of their also clients makes you stay longer than your shift, then it's too bad. - most of their are clients are extremely rude to the LLS employees, - they keep chaning your schedule around without any previous notice and cero concern on how this might after and impact employees personal time, life, and other responsibilities. - They have "supervisors" monitoring employees on calls all day, These supervisors seem to have an attitude more in line with that of an overseer than an actual supervisor. - Cero empathy and respect for the employees: personal time, physical and mental health. - every year during the months of may and june, when there aren't back to back calls, they start firing employees to save money. "Why pay for 3 employees when 1 can do the job of 3 for the same salary." - No opportunity for growth with in the company for any other position aside from being an overworked and underpaid interpreter.

LLS uses a strict standard of call handling protocol that has been refined over the past 42 years and has been validated by numerous outside agencies, including “Great Place to Work.” Our partners have the same commitment. We take particular objection to the assertions. Unfortunately, it was not a good fit for you. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

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.

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.
