Pluspunten

work from home keeps your brain active not boring

Minpunten

Very poor training, mostly focused on customer care and customer service. All this company cares about is customer care, they call their employees "interpreter" but the accurate definition would be customer care agents doing a bigger effort by constantly translating customer service from all types of areas. Nobody cares if you have a grade in language studies or not, the LLS trainers never even worked as real interpreters outside of LLS and have no idea of what actual interpretation is, all they know is about the brainwash they receive from LLS about treating the customer and following the guidelines. Interpreters are required to be polite, translate and act like robots. Client is always on the 1st place. Many clients and LEP treat you very bad during calls but you as an interpreter have absolutely no tools to protect yourself from that. They won't even take responsibility for their own mistakes ( the app not working, calls from any random area with specific terms that interpreters never had training about). And most important of all, the wage is so low that it makes me think of LLS as McDonald's of interpretation. Cheap, and poor quality.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

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.
