Pros

Steady, stable work. Decent pay and good work experience for future positions. Lots of paid time off, if you can actually find the time.

Cons

Sales people can literally do nothing wrong; production is constantly blamed for sales' mistakes, and are usually difficult/unreasonable to work with. More than a few sales people have difficultly with high school math, causing mistakes, which are then blamed on production as well. Some production departments pass all blame onto their vendors, which are all independent contractors. Sales people often do not know important information regarding the products they are selling. Company also expects you to work long hours, nights and weekends. They don't actually tell you that you have to, but they give you a company phone and suggest it's for working on the weekends. I rarely take vacations where I'm not answering emails 1-2 hours a day, on vacation. Sales and revenue is valued above all else.

Pros

decent pay, good benefits, stable job, interesting industry

Cons

"walmart of the translation industry" long hours, sales people within the company can be unreasonable and terrible to work with, its as if the sales people in the company work against the production team its as if there is no camaraderie. the training is OK at best. the pool of linguists is good however in the majority of circumstances its not up to the clients standard. i would walk in to the office and received thousands of emails every morning and have to sort through them, the majority of them would be from needy or crazy linguists, crazy sales people, and unreasonable managers.
