Pros

Hardly anything besides helping you with your vocabulary They hire from several places around the world (because they know they can exploit their work for hardly any cash)

Cons

You are constantly harassed by QA even when you do a good job because every QA has their own way of interpeting things and even if you do as a oreviuos QA said another one will tell you otherwise amd say it was wrong, you are also receiving calls back to back because they grab more clients than what they should amd since no one likes being overworked and constantly harassed it really makes you want to quit after a short while. Its obvious why they are always hiring :/ If you work outside of the US and have national holidays you can say goodbye to those, ironically they tell you to be culture broker when needed but they don't really care about your cultures or traditions

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Stay home. That's all. Nothing else.

Cons

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.
