High pressure, not something for a long-term run - Mandarin Interpreter LanguageLine Solutions Employee Review

Pros

-remote at home -sometimes feel good when helping people in need, and receive their positive feedbacks.

Cons

-Very high pressure not only because you may deal with some serious 911 situations. The call basically does not stop for the whole day if you work full-time. 1.5-2hrs long interpretation could be a nightmare*4 in a day, imagine it. -The payment does not align with the task and emotional drains. -This feels like half interpretation and half customer service. May deal with people without common sense.

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.
