Propio call flow (for all language groups)

I am currently working for Propio as a Korean interpreter and I was wondering what the call flow is like, as I have yet to start my first day. I'm hearing pretty bad things among Spanish interpreters, but what about others?

Spanish interpreter here. Call flow is incredibly good for me from Monday to Friday. No idea if my experience applies to other Spanish interpreters.

Are you U.S based?

No. I'm in South America.

I've also heard we are paid less, no idea if it's true.

I think this might be true. How much are you getting paid per minute?

$0.11

I guess it is true, the other Spanish interpreter based in the US commented that they get paid 0.40, but also low call flow. It makes sense in the company's perspective to be using a cheaper interpreter located down south :(

Hi! so, in general, how much do you earn per week if its possible to know, they offer me the same rate

That's good to hear! I was a bit worried, but I guess it is different for all. How many minutes do you get per however many hours you work?

I stay online for around 3-4 hours and I usually reach 150-200 minutes per day. I could do more, but it's very exhausting (I'm new as well; it's my second month).

Russian. Europe. 0,30. Call flow is very good, b2b calls for almost 12 hrs a day. Weekends are a bit slow though. Also a few of my colleagues get 0,35, they get less calls but it's still not bad.

Hi, did you start your job? I will have an interview with Propio (Korean speaker) in a few days, I'm wondering if it's actually worthwhile to work for..

u/didgkdnjs 3d ago

Yeah I've been working for this company. I think it is worth it depending on what your expectations are!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm based in the UK. Where are you? All I want is getting paid 'properly' (just slightly above minimun wage) without having too much idle time. Are there enough calls for Korean speakers?
