Pros

-if u love language and talking, u will enjoy this. (but back-to-back call may eventually drain ur enthusiasm.) -receiving salary on time. -management will try to accommodate ur request (as long as it's reasonable) -WFH

Cons

Most of the limited-english proficiency person are elderly. Therefore, in addition to interpretation, u need have patience. Sometimes u need to shout because a lot of them are hard of hearing. Some of their native language grammar is poor, and they often speak with a strong local accent, which means you may need to reconstruct and understand their sentences before you can interpret. These factors make it even more challenging. Now, imagine receiving over 80 calls in one shift, non-stop—it can be really stressful. The income is fixed, with no paid leave, no bonuses, and no raises. The salary is considered a bit low for a night shift. The shift schedule rotates from time to time, which can impact health (at least for me). Additionally, being on a night shift means it takes longer to recover when you're sick. Taking medical leave will affect u meeting ur salary targets unless you make up for the missed hours. In the end, it feels like you're sacrificing both your health and income. For annual leave, you have to bid for it. There are only very limited slots available each month, and some days are restricted.

Pros

Providing communications help for health care, insurance, beginning of life, end of life, counseling, IT. Among the highest minutes in the industry. Great record keeping, and pay is only 7 days after the close of every month. The annual training as well as recertification is paid events. Offers relative independence, after several audits, if you comply with excellence in customer service, you are pretty much on your own.

Cons

The minute rate is among the lower side among language companies. Find that while you can gain lots of successful advice from the company bulletin board, but offering advice is often better to those in authority.

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.
