Pros
I'd like to think there was something positive about my time with language line but I would be lying. Unemployment might actually be a better prospect.
Kontras
Everything. The clients being used to cutrate overseas interpreters are often rude and short with you. The staff is terrible towards the interpreters because of either fear of losing their jobs or because of being overworked, underpaid and being under the ever watchful eyes of the creeps in middle to upper management. The pay, even if you're literally working full-time will not be enough to even live modestly unless you have another stream of income. The ever looming culture of fear that management is always willing to cut your hours or fire you for minor offenses like TAKING TIME OFF, even if it's health related. This was the WORST JOB I EVER HAD and that's saying a lot considering I worked as a dog groomer and a pizza delivery driver as a kid. I would honestly rather smell like wet dog/canine anal-gland or get a gun shoved in my face than EVER work for these soul robbing slave drivers. This is literally the worst legitimate job out there. My only advice is to avoid this company at all costs. The only reason i got involved with them was that the company I worked for before was absorbed by LLS.
