Pros

Opportunities to advance if goals are met, constant feedback on performance, ability to travel if you have the right kind of client base

Cons

Unless you were one of the first people to start with TransPerfect, you will never make the same amount of money as senior management, commission structures are far lower than they used to be; arbitrary rules and goals are set forth but rarely are they followed through on or implemented for the long-term

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
