Pluspunten

There is none. No benefits, no paid holidays, none.

Minpunten

Largely underpaid, management is a joke. I work as a full-time over the phone interpreter, there's a 15 minute break in the morning and one in the afternoon, and half an hour for lunch. So basically you can go to the bathroom three time throughout eight hours. If you take your break more than 18 minutes, there will be phone calls and emails come in to remind you that you are not supposed to take three more minutes. No benefits at all, no paid vacations. I worked on all holidays, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, you name it. And you don't get paid more when work on holidays, it's still less than $15 an hour. And don't ever expect a pay raise. Working for them really should be your last option. Working from home is not really that much of an advantage, because you can't leave your desk since it's a landline and the calls come in one after another.

Pluspunten

Stay home. That's all. Nothing else.

Minpunten

Fifteen seconds to recover between stressful calls. The health insurance they offer is super expensive for the poorly paid for hours you get. It does not match. Micromanage everything, constant supervised and not a proper guidance after being pointed the errors of the week. Extreme poorly paid for the higher quality of job that they want. The company charges 3 or 4 dollars for minute, but an interpreter gets paid 15 an hour before taxes. See the difference? Days off unpaid always. Not fair. Not even during sickness, grief or personal emergencies.
