No Support for Interpreters You are just a Money Making Machine - Interpreter LanguageLine Solutions Employee Review

Pros

You can work from home. Nothing Else.

Cons

VERY low pay, NO raises ever, Quality Evaluations that almost always say "Meets Expectations" for everyone, no matter how good and skilled you are. They also send you Court Calls without any Training - considering how high-stakes these hearings are, this is highly irresponsible and unethical! If you request court training, they will turn you down. Yet they will provide the training to new interpreters. After approving your paid time off, they will reverse it without any notice. They pay you less than what companies pay bilingual Customer Service Agents. Benefits: Health insurance is a joke. After working for them for years, they will NEVER give you a raise, even if you request it. In fact, if you ask for anything, the answer is ALWAYS NO. They retaliate against employees who are trying to form a union. If you interpret verbatim, they will write you up for interpreting profanities (which should be interpreted). They value customer service more than accurate interpretation.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your many years of interpreting experience. Your perspective on training, communication, and support is valuable, and we take such input seriously. As interpreters who work through partner organizations are supported directly by those partners, we encourage you to reach out to your hiring partner to discuss your specific concerns. We appreciate the important work you do to help people communicate every day.

Thank you for your 5-star review and for the more than one year you have been part of our team in Monterey. We are glad to hear that you feel supported by a well-organized company, as we strive to provide a structured and professional environment for our interpreters. We also appreciate your perspective on same-day assignments; flexibility is often part of the meaningful work we do to support clients when they need language access most. Thank you for the important role you play in delivering quality interpretation services.

Pros

We are given the tools to do the work and management is good. Very talented, small team of engineers. You are left alone for the most part.

Cons

Some managers are very abrasive and hard to deal with. Pay is dismal (better negotiate a good salary up front) and we haven't had raises in a long time. They don't even keep up with inflation, yet health insurance prices go up yearly. Bonus has no logic to it. It's decided by made up projected numbers that are completely unrealistic some years. There is very little guidance on where we are going except for one meeting a year.
