My opinion about Telelanguage's work
Date Self-Employed (Current Employee) – Portland, OR – March 19, 2019
The typical daily work starts at 5:00 AM and basically ends at 4: PM. I have learnt customer service, its strategies, and how to be poise, in addition to improving on the task. I manage my time by focusing on the job throughout the day. Furthermore, I keep my work environment quite and without distractions. The hardest part of the interpretation work is in how to keep up work speed consistently with work protocols. The most enjoyable part of the job however, is, when you see the customer served.
Pros
As an independent contractor, you serve yourself by what you get on your own according to your choice..
Cons
Sitting for long times sometimes and taking short breaks, and not knowing what time calls will be received at.
Freedom to work from home.
Telephone Interpreter (Current Employee) – Portland, OR – April 1, 2019
I am very passionate about my work. I have worked with Telelanguage for the past 15 years and have grown with the company. Even though we work from home we get to know and care about all our clients. I enjoy everyday at work and I am always happy to help.
Pros
No need to drive in the traffic. I love working in the peaceful environment my home provides me.
Cons
The only negative is that the phone always rings when we are about to sit down for supper.
Friendly Environment
Professional Medical Interpreter (Former Employee) – Portland, OR – March 19, 2019
Had great guidance when I first started. I also appreciated the fact that if I had any questions, I could contact my manager by call or text. I enjoyed meeting new people and being able to fill the gap to the patient's language barrier. The convenience to schedule appointments that fit my schedule was also a great part of the job. One of the disadvantages was having to drive Downtown Portland to pick up my check and also to drop off my signed sheets as completion of the interpreting service.
Pros
Schedule my own appointments
Cons
No healthcare or benefits
a good company to start with
Over-the-Phone Interpreter (Current Employee) – work at home – February 8, 2019
As a independent interpreter, I enjoy the flexible schedule. The pay is good, I believe it is slightly above the average, but the call volume is unstable, sometimes the calls last longer, sometimes the call volume is very low and last a few minutes.

Medical Interpreter (Former Employee) – Portland, OR – January 8, 2019
I very much appreciated the flexibility of this job. Telelanguage was very upfront of the expectations and requirements. It was a contract position but they worked hard to give work to me and considerate of my schedule
The worst management on the planet
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Portland, OR – November 28, 2018
Worst place to work for there is no HR department one of the managers is running that dept. every manger lies and has a huge power trip they are not trained to be managers. training sucks they have very small cubicles and the call center is the size of a small studio apt. If you are think of working here please do yourself a favor and don't it will be a waste of your time and energy. there are two other places that does the same service apply with them
Cons
Bad management
It’s a great company

Freelance, make your own schedule
English Interpreter Contractor (Current Employee) – Portland, OR – June 23, 2018
good pay, great schedule, nice environment. No stress. No pressure applied. I work for myself essentially. Show up to the appointment on time, do your work, send the invoice, and get paid. I love working there!
Pay is low and would only pay every month
Interpreter (Current Employee) – Texas – May 6, 2018
They pay only after month. If you have direct deposit it take about additional 5-7 days to receive payment. Because of that you receive payment after 40 days.
Pros
Flexibility
Cons
Payment

Medical Interpreter (Former Employee) – Portland, OR – February 28, 2018
I loved the actual job. Its fun to go out to different sites and meeting new people , knowing you are making a difference. The only thing I didn't like was that we had no benefits.

Cons

Great Place to work as a part time job
On-Site Medical Interpreter (Current Employee) – Portland, OR – September 27, 2017
Telelanguage is a great place to get experience as an Medical interpreter. I would recommend to anyone looking for a part-time job, or as an extra income employment. Enjoyed the atmosphere, meeting new people, and being able to create your own schedule. Only thing I would change is the stability, wish it was a full-time job.
Uncertain and Slow
Over-the-Phone Interpreter (Current Employee) – Independent (Can work from Home) – September 17, 2017
It is uncertain and slow. You get no assignments some days and other days you get one or two assignments which means your salary is very low. There is no benefit.
Pros
Flexible
Cons
No Benefits/ Few Assignments
Could become a great company
SALES/MARKETING PROJECT MANAGER (Former Employee) – Portland, OR – August 9, 2017
As some of the inside back office staff age out the company should be doing well. Large base of interpreters and an owner who understands the evolution of technology and how it will impact the business.
Pros
Leadership allows you to build new skills and master old ones.
Cons
With the shear size of the firm there are some odd ball interpreters.
