Too much work for very bad pay

Pros

Work from home. You're close to your family. The experience acquired in interpretation.

Cons

There's no communication with management or any department because everything is done by request or email. The managers barely ever contact you and when they do they nick pick every single detail. What they don't consider is that we have so little breaks and so many calls, some of which extend 45 minutes in time, leave us mentally exhausted. I have to totally unwind after my shift because of the great stress created by rude clients, and rude people who speak your second language. I honestly feel like if this company expects perfection from employees. But they give back so little in the rate of pay, in not showing appreciation, in so many ways I can't even describe.

Lots of room for improvement

Pros

Language Line is a flexible company, extremely relaxed in many senses of the word. The primary pro is the fact that many interpreters get to work from home and the same goes for many of their employees.

Cons

That pro mentioned is also the con because that makes communication difficult. Upper-level management's communication with us at the bottom is not good or effective. There is a great dependency on support requests instead of actually having the contact information for who you'd like to speak with and that would be great if they were responded to in a timely manner. There are no true bonuses or corporate perks for the majority of employees. Most of the perks are geared at upper-management with 6 figure salary and not the company as a whole.

Pros

Don't have to pay gas. Dont have to deal with rude co-workers. Not physically demanding.

Cons

Managment is nowhere to be found. Don't respond to support requests. Schedules are very fixed. Not a very flexible company. Training doesn't prepare you for any of the calls. Job is incredibly stressful. Clients can be very rude and impatient. The operating systems are like 60 years old. Need more breaks. In my case, I get about 30-45 seconds in between calls to breath. Lastly, PAY IS HORRIBLE.
