Cyracom International Reviews

Pros

You can negotiate higher rate if certified.

Cons

Busy lines and very heavy workload.

Pros

Training was the most thorough I have seen in the industry. Two weeks in class training with one week training on the phones. Other companies will just give you the class training and then leave you to your own devices once you begin interpreting over the phone. Clean office. Relatively achievable goals. As long as you do not make mistakes on your calls you will receive good marks on your performance review. Very flexible schedules for people who might prefer to work on the weekends and have two days off during the week, or people who would prefer to work mornings some days and nights other days. Of course a normal M-F 9-5 schedule was also available.

Cons

The hourly rate for Spanish interpreters when I started (2018) was 15.00 an hour. I am not sure what it would be now.

Pros

They hire you very quickly, the recruiters are very friendly and they pay you well!

Cons

nothing, it's all good for the job

Pros

Good flow of work and convenient

Cons

Low pay per hour, lowest I believe

Pros

Coworkers are fun and reliable

Cons

HR is unprofessional. Only way to get promoted is through favoritism

Pros

Paid training, growing opportunities, learning opportunities, opportunity to meet people from multiple backgrounds, entirely immerse in diversity. This is the bootcamp for the language industry. If you survive a couple of years here, you will have gained an invaluable amount of experience that you will be able to apply anywhere else.

Cons

Unrealistic goals, delegation of responsability from upper management, lack of accountability for employees, lack for human sympathy.

Pros

-Very willing to accommodate your schedule to whatever you may need, so long as your stats are good. -Your schedule won't change spontaneously in terms of days worked and hours selected.

Cons

-Very poor pay, close to McDonald's wages; too little pay for the constant workload. -Company no longer offers bonuses and the maximum raise you can get is about $0.25 every 6 months but only if you have perfect attendance and 0 complaints in that time. -Back to back calls throughout the entire 8-10 hour shift, with 2-9 seconds in between each call. -Extremely high turnover for new supervisors; brand new supervisor every couple of months. -Incompetent, arrogant management; not willing to help you resolve important matters; constant run around without following through with a resolution.

Pros

Provided good training for amateur interpreters Great place to earn experience

Cons

Low pay, not a lot of room to advance

Pros

Entry level, secure job, there will always be work available at this company. The company has great culture, however on a personal level it does get repetitive and the pay increases should be greater in my opinion, considering the type of work being done. Nothing too hard, but it is valuable.

Cons

It may get very boring, as many things are repeated throughout the day, you are not working with a team but rather with client interactions over the phone. You may encounter dreaded customers and people not paying attention.

Pros

Good company to branch into many fields

Cons

Hard on your mental health when exposed to serious contracts
