"- Constant shifting schedules based on business needs (24h 7 days a week environment, get ready to work holidays, night shifts, weekends with no extra compensation)- Prohibitively expensive to extend health benefits to Family- low wages across the board, compared to similar positions- Constant Monitoring and quality control- PTO and Vacation use restricted to business needs- almost non-existent opportunities for career advancement.- Very little in return of much asked (low salary, vs. PTO usage restrictions, strict rules on the call floor, tedious and constant monitoring, work during holidays, work during weekends, graveyard shifts, salary increases dependent on never being absent , required to present medical note for Any absence to be justified etc...)- Management focus on Monthly scorecards regardless of means to achieve high scores.- Corrective actions and termination are very easy to incur. An employee was terminated because he wore a baseball cap in the call floor. Corrective actions can be given as quick as 1 unjustified absence.- Restrictive and outdated dress code: business casual required on a call center."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"This company has great potential but unfortunately it chooses to focus on the call center side of things rather than create a corporate culture that will nurture their interpretation talent.They think a once a year pass to a water park or a zoo is showing employee appreciation.Many interpreters are mislead at the time of interviews, presented a company that values intelligence and language skills, when in reality they just need a bilingual person competent enough to apply their protocols. They justify their low salaries by pointing out that interpreters don't need anything other than a high school diploma or a GED. Do not be fooled, this is a call center job and nothing else."
"Meantime job, and get out of there as fast as you can! Employee exploitation to the max! Great profits for the owners. Deeply in need of a UNION."
"If I could give this company zero stars, I would. It was the worst company I ever worked for. I only applied here because I was fresh out of college and needed a job where I could gain interpreter experience. But it was the worst 2 years of my life. To start, the pay for the job that people do here is extremely low, especially for Spanish. Spanish interpreters are paid a lot less than any other language interpreter. They don't care if you are fluent in both languages or that you have a background in interpretation. They just want anyone who speaks two languages without realizing that they are doing more harm than good. Not everyone that is bilingual can interpret, and I saw many people interpreting incorrectly. It doesn't surprise me as the trainers and supervisors themselves have no clue what they are doing. Half of them don't have a degree in interpretation nor any other experience but call center experience. This job focuses too much on the rules and call center side of things instead of interpreting for the client correctly. Spanish interpreters do not get enough time between calls to gather themselves and prepare for the next call, because as soon as you hang up, you get a call. Most of the calls you deal with are sensitive. You interpret for doctors, banks, police, etc. yet they do nothing at all to prepare you well for this job. Three weeks is definitely not enough time to prepare anyone for the amount of work they do. They should either focus on one subject or allow interpreters to focus solely on one or the other. Having to learn about countless medical conditions and then interpreting laws within 5 seconds of completing a medical call is not helping anyone. The client does not get a good interpreter and the interpreter is not working up to his or her potential. You are very limited in the tools you can use to help you complete the job; the internet is extremely restricted and the dictionary they created is not updated, nor does it have any term you need."
"Cyracom was the first company I started as an Interpreter. Beginning was very challenging but they company and the job offered me lot to learn. And now I am a professional Interpreter. Great place to work with."
"I have found replies to emails indicating issues, or conflicts to be slow to come. Otherwise I am content with the services provided to me, and even more so with the service the company allows me to provide."
"The job itself was amazing! The only concern I had was the robotic behavior supervisors and workers had in terms of their time, computer usage, restroom usage, and such."
