Pros

- Very interesting industry - Fast-paced environment - I honestly can't think of another good thing to say I just need to meet the word requirement

Cons

- Project Managers are responsible for overseeing the life of a project as it makes its way through the production cycle. If one department misses a deadline or messes something up and as a result a clients deadline is missed, the blame is put entirely on the Project Manager, even though that is impossible most of the time. - Division management is useless as all decisions must be approved by upper management which has a do-or-die mentality. - Employees are grossly underpaid (Project Managers averaging $37k, get real) for the amount of work they are responsible for - Competition is encouraged instead of teamwork

Pros

- The company is in CBD - Flexible lunch hours - Employers are young and funny - Linguists are interesting people and nice to work with

Cons

- Managers in upper management lack basic management skills and translation software skills to do their job -Micromanagement is annoying - some employees in junior posts are smart but their efficiency is greatly hindered by their managers - Double standard - Project managers/coordinators are always wrong, senior managers are always right. - Treat linguists with no respect - maybe monolingual English speaker can never understand how it is like to learn a secondary language, and fail to appreciate any cultures besides American culture - The company encourage competition instead of teamwork
