Pros

None. This company is very bad.

Cons

Terrible company. You answer calls every 15 seconds for a wide range of industries (medical, insurance, law, education, pharmaceutical). You don’t have the ability to screen calls or focus on any one area of expertise. The client has a “clean desk” policy meaning you're not allowed to have anything open in your computer, including glossaries so you have to be an expert in everything, including highly technical or specific terminology in a wide range of fields. There is no support whatsoever besides a “contact agent” option where you can transfer the call if there is an issue but are warned if you transfer too many calls you can be fired. You have no manager, no team, and no one to help you. You have forced overtime because you're not allowed to log out of the phone system until the last second of your shift so if you get a call 1 minute before the end of your shift and it lasts for an hour, well too bad for you. Even worse, most employees are hired through the dreaded Kelly Services who still thinks we live in the 1950s and tells you you’ll need a doctor’s note for an absence. The real cherry on the cake though is when you find out they charge 240 for an hour of interpreting but pay you only 15, less than people make working at my local grocery store (no disrespect to them but they aren't answering 911 calls). Run away from this company.

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.
