Good place to work, just not very much - Interpreter/Translator One World Translation Employee Review

Pros

One World Translation pays pretty well and takes care of a lot of the frustrating pieces of the interpreting business. Although lower pay than a lot of interpreting jobs, they cover for their employees in case of errors or other issues. When I was there they paid a decent wage for travel as well as for working hours, useful since I had to drive all over the Denver metro area.

Cons

I worked between 8 and 15 hours a week when I worked with them, and at times business could be pretty slow. Some of the places I had to drive to were pretty far-flung, especially with Denver traffic.

Thank you so much for your review. We are proud of our team and receive many positive comments about them, especially Anna, from both our inside and outside customers. As you know, it is the linguists' choice of what jobs to choose or accept, whether close or farther away. We are also happy to announce that we expect to have more varied contract awards soon in a wider range of locations. We appreciate you and the contribution of your talents to our team!

Pros

Hourly pay is good but there are very limited hours for work

Cons

Too many one hour jobs, so you block your schedule and drive on your own time to make an hour of pay here and there. Who really wants one hour or even two hours of pay at 2:00 in the afternoon? You say is shot and you don’t make much. The owner/boss convinces you to take on assignments that you don’t want to benefit her and her business and to make the company look good, but she is not willing to compensate you fairly for representing her company well. She wants interpreters to take expensive and time consuming training in Denver that the interpreters pay for, ($500+ for the course, plus hotel, meals, gas etc) but then they get little work in the following year and can barely pay back the training. Other companies don’t require this training, especially for interpreters with education and experience. The pay sounds good but you can’t get enough work to live on and you spend too much time driving.
