Pros

Working from home is a huge advantage. Not only does this reduce the money needed to work there but gives a lot more flexibility and freedom and eliminates any time and money wasted commuting (which can be considerable in some cases) Staying proficient in your language(s). This job has helped me keep up and better my language knowledge and provides good mental exercise which I think is very important. Opportunities to learn about different topics. With the wide variety of calls, you will gain knowledge on many subjects. Set schedule. Once your schedule is established it is set and remains the same with the opportunity to work additional hours as the need arises. Pay always on time and regular. Variety. You never know what to expect day to day as to the type of call or how busy of a day it will be. Sense of purpose. This job can be very rewarding if you enjoy helping others.

Cons

The biggest con I have would be the pay, which is still not bad all things considered. I have other sources of income so the income from this job for me is extra but if it were my only source of income I would want it to pay more. This said, the set schedule easily allows you to do other things during your day (which I do).

Pros

I can think of nothing. Probably easy to get in since quality is not valued much here.

Cons

So many, here are a few to start with: - Treat employees with no respect and appreciation whatsoever - Keep reducing your rate, everything is non-negotiable, take it or leave it - Signing new clients on too fast without hiring and training more interpreter - My calls are always back to back, hours and hours of constant talking without a break, please note that you will most likely not have a chilled day with few calls, except for Christmas - No paid leave, almost non existent health benefits, even non paid leave is very very limited, 10 days a year, please not, it's unpaid leave and they still make it hard for you to take them - System always break down a lot, make the job even more stressful than it already is - They squeezed and squeezed every thing they can out of employee. I imagine their principle would be "Money is the most important thing to our organization - Some people are lucky to be contractors, I think they stopped hiring contractors. But they keep reducing the rates and push all the call to employees, until all of us are busy then the calls flow to contractors (to save money of course) There are so many more things, I just can't list them all. My whole life I have never worked for an organization that operate with mainly profit in mind. I feel mistreated and taken advantage of. My goal is just to stay until I have more experience and leave as soon as I can. If you have other options, do not join them. Even though this will make things harder for us, we will keep being understaffed and exploited but I want to be honest and help people from making mistakes.

Pros

I've been working there for over a year now. It's a pretty flexible job with opportunities to work over time. The salary is decent and I've learned a lot about the insurance and health industry.

Cons

No cons. I enjoy my job.
