Pros
You get paid more on Universal Credits
Cons
1. Modern day slavery 2. Condescending 3. Their contract stipulates if you do not attend an assignment, you get penalised £50. If the client does whatever they feel like you only get 50% of your time and effort. Even though you could have been accepting other assignments calls or video calls or even not rejected other offers to not be double booked. So on every assignment you're buying a lottery ticket. 4. Minimum pay even for the interpreters who run the show and are the real providers. 5. £0.25 per mile travel costs. This works out that if you drive for an hour you will paid less than minimum wage. I think these guys either pretend they're not aware of fuel prices or they are proud of being back in the dark ages of slavery. 6. Zero transparency on anything at all. Just because someone somewhere has written a ton of small prints does not mean they are a fair company. 7. Us and the clients are equals. Clients represents a need not superiority. Without the interpreters you wouldn't exist. 8. Freelance is just a word these guys camouflage under. Freelance you dont get to decide rates we do. Otherwise you pay holidays and sickness. Cause if we have to do that you are not paying minimum wage.
