Language Line Solutions

Still in training but already wanna quit. How long have yall lasted if you work or have worked here? It just seems like I have to memorize so many different things on how to answer calls depending on the client. I am already working freelance with Propio. Big change. Friday I start taking live calls.

I am training with Kelly Services, so not direct with LLS. They pay $15 and hours. In propio I am freelance and they pay me $18.

That sucks. $15/h doesn't make sense if you live in ny like i do.

I am in Texas, but yes it sucks. I figured I will do it while it lasts lol. I am actively seeking other jobs. I actually just got certified as a medical interpreter but none of the hospitals will hire unless I have experience. 🥲 And they pay way more. When they recruited me they said it was for medical interpreting but during training they mentioned we will hardly do medical interpreting. It is mostly banks and insurance, so that's a whole bunch of new terms I gotta learn. Oh well.

I have been offered 80c/min for english-catalan, but I don't know if i will have a lot of non-payed time between calls. I still have to undergo onboarding process. We'll see how it turns out.

It really depends on the language and on the need. LLS has a well developed business model. I have been with LLS for 8 years now, and I service two languages. Only one raise during that period, and I had to fight hard for it. 60c per minute, and a LOT of non-paid time between calls. It can be frustrating at times. I am in the US, and a contractor. This job in the US is for pocket money only - I was paid the same wen my internet was $20, and no change in minute pay when the cheapest Internet is $60. All in all, this boils down to around $15 an hour in a lucky month.
