Pros

I appreciated the 3-week training and the professional and likable instructors. I interpreted for different industries, and I initially loved the work. My supervisors were easygoing and great to talk to. They were kind enough to change around some supervisors if they were harsh or unprofessional.

Cons

They changed my supervisors as soon as I started to get to know them and become comfortable around them. Then I got a manager for whom MICROMANAGING was addictive. She monitored every detail and would call on my personal number even when I was out of the office. We lost a big client and they put us on bank calls, which are monotonous. I need a mentally challenging and stimulating job, one I look forward to every day. They want us to confirm every single number, date, etc. which is monotonous, boring, unnecessary in most instances when you know you heard it correctly. They take off an excessive amount of points for quality for the most trivial omission that doesn't change the meaning of a segment. It's just overwhelming. An employee recently posted on Skype "I hate it here." I don't know if TP monitors these messages, but I hope she finds a job that fulfills her expectations and needs. I can't take this anymore.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
