Pros

Provides a vital service for the Deaf community

Cons

Corporate capitalism has wormed its way into the field of interpreting -putting profits over people. I have witnessed the downfall in the following ways: Cut hours of well experienced interpreters in favor of hiring students and inexperienced interpreters at the lowest pay scale. Laid off center supervisors who have put years of excellent service to the organization with little notice. Now all centers have regional supervisors who are only available for brief windows of time. Continually cutting hours of interpreters, claiming call volume is too low, yet Deaf consumers are placed in a holding cue rather than adequate staffing to keep call volume at a sustainable level. Working conditions due to above reasons have become so intolerable that many interpreters are leaving. This impacts the Deaf community in a big way with long hold times and low call quality.

Pros

Exceptional care among those in leading roles. Trying hard to be transparent among a volatile occupation.

Cons

Difficult to get consistent work as agencies often change a different provider midstream, thus lose out on consistent work.

Pros

The mission is fantastic, the deaf community is amazing

Cons

Since the shift to private equity ownership, the company’s focus has moved strictly to short-term financial metrics at the expense of the long-term mission. This has resulted in an environment of perpetual instability, marked by frequent and unending layoffs. ​The current senior leadership culture is problematic. There is a pattern of "transformative changes" that lack strategic logic and seem to dismantle high-performing systems without a viable replacement. Accountability is inconsistent at the executive level; specifically, the Office of the CIO has become a primary driver of turnover. The leadership style there is characterized by a lack of transparency, gaslighting, and a tendency toward blame-shifting, which has directly caused a significant exodus of top-tier talent. ​Furthermore, the CEO's office appears to overlook these internal cultural failures, allowing for a political environment where "divide-and-conquer" tactics take precedence over collaboration and results.
