Pros

Working from home is an option. Payment is in US$. They offer great training and learning resources. The experience you get here will definitely open doors for better paying jobs, like remote front desk officer for clinics and hospitals or insurance rep.

Cons

Fixed waiting time between calls is 15 seconds. On a busy day, that's all you get. not even enough to catch a breath. You have to work the first 12 months without vacations, after that you can use them. but good luck resisting one year with no time off. 1 hour lunch break is fine, but other than that throughout the whole day you only get 15 minutes total to rest. 8 hour shifts are unrealistic, most people choose to work 6 days a week on 6 hour shifts because that's all an average person can take. Interpretation is not like a regular desk job, it demands extreme concentration for long periods of time. On your day off, you're exhausted. Hard to do anything other than sleep and rest. 8 months of doing that and I was burnt out. Payment isn't bad, but the job is way too demanding for 3 dollars an hour. In the long run, it's just not worth it.
