Pros

Work from home Can hit the bonus fairly easily as long as you stick to your adherence

Cons

Little to care or accomodation for graveyard shift employees despite them getting the hardest calls there are, 911. Company would regularly call me to come into the main office without 24h notice despite many myself and many employees living very far from the main office. Rescheduling was rarely ever well received even when called to come in on my day off. Was not compensated for my time there either because as a graveyard employee, I was never called in during my working hours despite spending all day commuting to the main office and then commuting back home, was still expected to complete my all night shift.

Pros

WFH, decent training for the most part (though the trainers did not show up on time on three different occasions, we had to wait for an hour). The interpreting work itself is great for myself, I am learning a lot and have a sense of being useful, needed, helpful.

Cons

Low pay, subpar benefits, no federal holidays, non-transparent communication, punitive environment, cheap computers, Internet explorer is the choice of a browser in 2023, they can cancel your scheduled work the last minute (so you can't plan ahead and you do not get paid once they cancel your shift), the reimbursements differ amongst the interpreters, so any talk about the wages is strongly discouraged on their internal chat platform, and on and on.

Pros

- Management from Kelly service (for Canadian interpreters) was great

Cons

- I was hired as a medical interpreter but got calls from all different places including airport, banks, court, law firms(in the middle of the trial), emergency room, 911 etc which is overwhelming. - no time for going to washroom

Pros

provide paid training for people interested in the industry and have not taken any training with no experience. After hired, will provide a week's training. 30 hours considered full time and provide insurance and 401k. Pretty much provide all equipments you need t.o perform the job but you still need to be somewhat computer savvy

Cons

low pay rate, no PTO, no OT pay, no holiday pay, no direct supervisor, no one to get in touch to other than opening tickets in the system. Need to wear their uniform and need a big enough space to set up a backdrop. calls are back to back and only 15 second in between calls.
