Pros

No Pros I can think of with this job.

Cons

Basically, they lowered the number of interpreters, and then cut the hours of the rest, that made a high volume of calls every day, and the interpreter is still required of a 100 % performance or "adherence to schedule" as they call it. Interpreter is always to blame, it doesn't matter they get treated badly by the client or the customer LEP (Limited-English Person), the company is always on the customer's side and the interpreter is always at fault. No raise in pay-rate no matter how long you spend for those greedy people. They will eventually cut your hours and wages whether you have an emergency or if you where sick or you experience a technical issue related to the equipment or the internet, no matter what you're experiencing, when you're not in shift you're not paid and you're not excused. No holidays, no vacations, never think about that, you're allowed to take up to 7 days-off a year, but that WON'T be paid of course, so you're limited even with the unpaid time-off, and when you exceed that limit you will influence your adherence so badly. I would never recommend this job to anyone, I will quit very soon.

Thank you for your 5-star review and for the more than one year you have been part of our team in Monterey. We are glad to hear that you feel supported by a well-organized company, as we strive to provide a structured and professional environment for our interpreters. We also appreciate your perspective on same-day assignments; flexibility is often part of the meaningful work we do to support clients when they need language access most.

Pros

We are given the tools to do the work and management is good. Very talented, small team of engineers. You are left alone for the most part.

Cons

Some managers are very abrasive and hard to deal with. Pay is dismal (better negotiate a good salary up front) and we haven't had raises in a long time. They don't even keep up with inflation, yet health insurance prices go up yearly. Bonus has no logic to it. It's decided by made up projected numbers that are completely unrealistic some years. There is very little guidance on where we are going except for one meeting a year.
