CyraCom reviews

Scheduling\breaks are not logical and borderline insane. The staff are generally mistrustful of each other and the company with good reason. Management has no empathy for human needs such as breaks\restrooms, acknowledgement of good work, or time off. The staff generally has no official training, are fearful of losing their positions, and even tend to play childish games on each other to gain recognition or hinder others image. If you are salary..expect a 60-80 hr work week. Do not expect management to honor any type of verbal or written agreements you make with them and they only welcome "yes sirs" so be careful thinking outside of the box

Once hired, Cyracom becomes your life. Forget about going to potty or eating. If you get sick you have no job. No if ands or buts. You're a corporate wage slave. Management trains Spanish interpreters to be Mexified. This means use Mexican Spanish words and slang. Spanish speaking LEP's are not all Mexican and our job is to communicate clearly to everybody, not just Mexicans. Some Mexican terps complain that they cannot understand Caribbean Spanish speakers. Isn't that your job? If you are an English to French interpreter and you can't understand English speakers with accents unfamiliar to you then you are no interpreter but a call center representative that operates as an interpreter to provide customer service. You can't use that lazy excuse if you were a court interpreter. This is the McDonald's of interpretation and if this is truly your calling explore the courts and more professional environments that will truly test your Spanish game. But to break into those echelons you need to invest a lot money and become certified. They try to robotize terps as evidenced by their instructions and commands. I suspect that the company does this because once AI takes over, they'll create algorithms using all of our audio and have no use for human terms. Find yourself a real career and run from this dead end. This is no different than the now defunct Corinthian colleges that were diploma mills only you get paid for them to download your consciousness.
