Aggressive Managers, avoid if possible.

Pros

Good first exposure to sales and account management.

Cons

- Micromanagement by managers, no opportunity to take control over your work. - Lied on their job listing. Stated that this was salary + commission but had to make $100k in sales before seeing any commission. - Bare minimum training. Sink or swim is their policy and they will let you know as soon as you sign anything with them. - Terrible work culture, expected to commit your afternoons and weekends to the accounts you work on.

For me, leaving this company is the wisest choice

Business Outlook

Pros

Valuable work experience, and a great opportunity to work at home

Cons

Most of the positive reviews are from management, technological, supervisory and non-interpretation positions. For interpreters who are the foundation of this company, the work load and compensation never come to a balance. Interpreters are paid with minimum wage with back to back calls. Besides, interpreters are under constant supervision, spot checks with ridiculous report cards every single week, unreasonable protocols and working environment audits! There’s is no trust and respect from management. I was revenged by a so-called language assessor at spot checks, because once I had disagreement with him about cultural awareness. My first supervisor was such a cold and arrogant guy. Being a supervisor doesn’t authorize him to be more superior then a newly hired employee!
