Pros

Good experience for an entry level graduate. As a first job, right out of college, it provides good insight into the process of administrating a project from assignment to deadline.

Cons

Similar to other reviews, the starting salaries are below average. Be prepared to work long hours without compensation. The work load always seems to over the threshold of what one coordinator can handle. This company is only one rung for you to use to climb up to something better. (hence the high turnover rate)

Pros

This is a job to get project management experience straight out of college. You learn to efficiently multitask in a high paced environment. Because you're kept busy, the day feels like it goes by quickly, even if you are working 10+ hours. The material to be translated that you work with can be very interesting. Team Leads were supportive, patient and a pleasure to work with. After sticking it out for a rough first year, opportunities and salaries increase with possibilities to move internationally.

Cons

Very stressful, lots of work with low pay- Each day, X amount of projects will come in for PM teams to place with linguists or complete. If one PM is sick or leaves early, the burden to place remaining jobs falls on the others. Because of this I (and my colleagues) felt pressured to work overtime without pay. I felt I was shortchanging and cheating linguists out of fair pay because of the tight budgets PCs/PMs are given to work with. Incredibly tight deadlines with a focus on quantity over quality work created a stressful environment.
