      Home based interpreter

      Dec 21, 2018 - Home Based OTP Interpreter in Spokane, WA

      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to work from home, save on gas, work in your pajamas, fair pay, very easy access to management if you have any issues. Amazing, friendly and understanding management, I've been having some health issues in my family, and they always were able to meet my needs and were willing to work with me. This is not the first company that I worked for as the OTP interpreter, and it is much better in comparison. Better benefits than other similar companies offer.

      Cons

      Can't think of any cons.

      Pros

      You can work from home.

      Cons

      Interpreters from South America get paid 5USD an hour. That is less than the minimum wage in the USA and in our own countries. Our half hour lunch is not even paid and breaks are paid as a ¨prize¨ for being on time every day.

      Rates are determined by the manager of each country. LanguageLink HQ just accepts (or not) the rates suggested by said managers for their interpreter’s time based on whether it is profitable for us as a business or not. This is an hourly rate paid because these interpreters are covering schedules needed to cover our client base’s needs. Interpreters can choose to stop working hourly shifts whenever they want, because they are independent contractors, not employees (even if they are employees in their country). Another option interpreters have is to shift to independent contractors without scheduled shifts, in which case they would need to offer LanguageLink an acceptable rate per interpreted minute. About vacations, sick time, technical issues, etc., since they are independent contractors, LanguageLink does not have the obligation to provide any benefit other than the earned pay based on the hourly rates agreed.

      Pros

      Full time work from home interpreting. Management is easy to talk to .

      Cons

      Even though you are working from home you are only allowed a vey limited amount of times you can to to the bathroom. Micromanaged, and will easily get told you are doing somethig wrong, but never any kudos for job well done.
