Pros

You get to work from home if you meet their strict requirements. They provide training and support for people interested in entering the interpretation field.

Cons

This company takes advantage of entry level and inexperienced interpreters. They pay minimum wage for a job that is billed at $45-$60 an hour while demanding that same level of quality work. They only pay for the time you're actively working, so if there's a slow day or a holiday, you might not be able to make your rent this month. Over all, just glad I got certified and learned how badly they had taken advantage of my skills.

Pros

Work from home, so no added expense of traveling back and forth to work. Work in the comfort of your PJs.

Cons

No respect for interpreters, as they speak in a very condescending way. They never communicate with you, only to complain about feedback from an irate customer. Their recruiter is infinitely rude, if she does not hear what she wants. She offered for me to become an employee for 1/3 of what I made as a contractor ($30/hr to $11/hr), no paid vacation and no benefits, when I “politely” declined the offer her tone changed completely to rude and condescending with a hint of threat. They have a very limited understanding of the requirements of the different dialects and how some are not mutually intelligible even if they fall under the same language. There was no department to handle that, no matter how often I pointed out that their customers’ needs could be improved by paying attention to such cultural details. They have no regards for experience or education. It’s a company that is driven by greed. They charge their customers an arm and a leg for their services, and yet they refuse to adequately pay their employees. A Starbucks barista has a more comfortable situation with potential for growth and a higher pay rate with a mere GED. I would not recommend working at LLS.

Pros

working out of your home

Cons

You don't know the meaning of slave driver until you worked for LLS, 3rd world pay, demanding boss who never responds to your e-mail, no sick leave, if you become sick too bad, you're fired, no pay raise ever I was switched to all call interepreter and the pay stayed minimum wage. The call volume is constant and company allows calls to come into your line 10 seconds before your lunch break, just interpreted for 3 hours straight, too bad, here is some more interpreting for you and screw your time off. So this job is actually worse than any job you can imagine, and you get almost no compensation for it. Company does not certify interpreters but tells them to lie to court officers that you are court certified. Some one should shut them down for unsafe working conditions.
