Pros

Wearing sweatpants. Short commute. Free coffee.

Cons

Nepotism: 2 current leaders in place with no job posting or proper vetting process. One leaders daughter is a team lead. Team Leads have stalked trainer’s online profiles and reported back to leadership. Poor dictionary use: Substantial - “of considerable importance, size, or worth.” $40 to $60 a week is not substantial. Senior management over promised and substantially under delivered. Poor listening skills: numerous people have met with senior management asking for help. We are told to use our chain of command. When someone asks a question, is told it will be looked into, we expect an answer. Normally we never get one. You want to know why we are so angry? You. Don’t. Listen. Stealing money earned: Pear pays Kelly for every survey completed at the end of training. That money is earned by the trainers, directly reflects on their work, yet leadership denies this money is paid to Kelly. Poor communication: Town Halls where leadership talks at us and reads from prepared statements. Schedules changed multiple times over the weekend with no warning. Schedules changed at 4 a.m. and no one told the trainers they were now working until 10 p.m. EST.

Pros

weekly pay, no supervising, work from home

Cons

recently they have done an audit where they are laying off interpreters without notice and paperwork to even get ei. Really bad management decisions overall. Really bad app. They should go back to telephone/landline interpreting. They have also been making us say "We are proud to serve you" to white doctors when most of the interpreters are people of color. Disgusting

Pros

You can go see different cars.

Cons

Nothing was as promised. I didn't even get the name tag & business cards. Nothing is organized. Seriously worst company I have EVER worked for in 35 years. Don't waste your time applying unless you want to be promised lots of great things, and never receive them.
