Policies changed so often that it was difficult to remember all of the intricacies, which is a distinct disadvantage when each detail can impact your bidding priority, your immediate health, or your credibility. As time went on, the corporate management style became increasingly paternalistic, punitive, and arbitrary. At first, the job was challenging and engaging. Over almost ten years, I worked 28 hours a week on average. Our center has a massage therapist that comes in once a week to do neck and shoulder massages, if - more. In many jobs you work 8 hours and get a 30 minute break. I'm there to do a job and I'm thankful they offer the breaks they do. I've never been under my login percentage. Keep your break time under 10 minutes per hour worked and you have met the requirement. Some people have complained about stats/login percentage. I never do, because I can eat in 19 minutes and I'd rather get paid. If you want over a 19 minute break during the day you have to schedule a non-paid break.
So you can work 50 minutes and take a 10 minute break or you can save it and take up to a 19 minute paid break. You get a 10 minute break for each hour worked. I can also decide I don't want to work for a while, like if I want to take an extended 2 month vacation, and come back after and jump right back in.

I can work 15 minutes a week or 29 hours a week (they are not offering full time except for people who were already full time before they changed it). Some of the benefits are:Ĭompetitive pay scale as compared to community or educational settings. I have never worked for a better company. I guess it must be due to different management at different centers. I'm honestly so surprised to see negative reviews from some other interpreters. The break times are pre-set apparently that is so the calls don't get backed up due to too many taking a break at once, but it's made into such a big deal that many of us - more. Coworkers from my center and others out of state have voiced similar emotions, that we don't feel heard ( ie: when we have feedback about a program or something we specifically use), that we aren't worth our pay (what about covid suddenly changing your job description - from working on site to at home - so that the company reclassifies your entire job and docks your pay (from $3-11/hr depending on person!), or have to go through extraordinary measures to get the tiniest of raises (even after being at the company since it's inception!). Maybe that one experience started it, but for some unclear reason, I started feeling stressed at the office often. The company itself offers a few incentives now and then to get people excited to come in and work or add more time, offer workshops and trainings for CEUs, covering certain certification fees for you if you qualify (I did qualify, but my director let the time to apply for reimbursement run out and I was out of luck), etc. Facilitating communication between callers feels good, and its a neat thing to see and "meet" so many new people everyday. Whether you were there 5 days a week or 2 times a month, everyone took care of everyone. Lovely co-workers gave me a sense of family. Office atmosphere is warm and welcoming (even during all the changes made w/Covid). Working here helped when I was needing guaranteed steady income (which vascillates in this profession).
