Pros

This is a company that is providing valuable services, and I see myself as helping the mission of the organization to help people. That's empowering. The company is in growth mode, so there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm for the future.

Cons

The benefits are pretty good. I would like more time off in my package though.

Pros

Good, over qualified people stuck in menial jobs.The people/employees make this place a bearable company.

Cons

Very low pay. Very highly educated employees are paid a little more than the minimum wage. Company expects employees to keep taking on additional responsibilities and work in any and all department to help them, but they do not compensate the employees accordingly. They try to take advantage of employees all the time, but very cleverly avoid the legal implications. Surely, on paper, they may not get into trouble with labor laws. They advertise an opening with a different title, but then then when they offer the job, it is another story. They hire an employee for a certain job with a set of roles and responsibilities, but they soon change them and almost corner the employee to take on completely unrelated set of roles and duties. A person hired to do administrative job is asked to take on a customer service role or a designer hired for graphics, is asked to work in marketing. People are always felt underpaid and exploited, but keep silent because of a bad job market. The company asks for self-evaluations to be submitted yearly, but never evaluate or increase pay which they say would happen yearly. They sneakily avoid the evaluations and pay raise and pay raises are an even bigger joke. Employee has to keep on top of it or the company gets away with it. The company benefits are next to nothing.

Pros

Motivation: Management constantly motivates their employees though emails, chat and over the phone Team Work: Interpreters help one another all the time Glossary: Interpreters can profit from the glossaries and add their own Resources: Website with tons of useful information QA

Cons

Rates are too low for a medical interpreter position Not enough preparation/training, only a few days. It is more of a day to day training. You learn by try and error. Equipment makes it hard to understand callers. It does not only depend on the company itself but on their customers.
