Pros

maybe work from home but this is not really a benefit maybe it was in 00s

Cons

- absolutely useless procedures like muting yourself between the call because the monitor to make sure you just sit still and do not dare to do something else - sometime back to back calls -breaks - whole another topic: 30 min unpaid, the break is not permitted; I have a chance to take a break for 10 minutes because I had some big business in the washroom - not only they deducted the time but also gave me humiliatingly a warning on and after a call with a talent advisor. What am I supposed to do, go to the washroom in my pants? -they deduct the penny time unreasonably like deducting 1-3 minutes it is okay to them - the training is just a whole humiliation in from of everyone - constant monitoring -the pay is ridiculous - 18 CAD per hour = 2000 CAD after tax per month in Toronto gets you a paycheck-to-paycheck life and, a reminder, you are a professional interpret that follows all their non-sense procedures and passed all exams and interview processes - For that 40 CAD minimum -their workforce is primarily smart people /students who were not able to get a job in their field, retired or people who want just to get by so they abuse it. -ofc no benefits and no vacation - what did you expect after reading the above? The turnout ration is so high that ppl usually leave within the first/third month

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
