Low pay, poor treatment to employees - Interpreter Equiti Employee Review

Remote 401K with matching, fully vested from day 1 The amount of sick leave is generous

They are predatory because they would rather hire two part-time employees than one full-time employee. They don't need to give you benefits that way. The pay is very low, considering it is part-time. Part-time jobs should pay better. You are essentially a contractor. Equipment is not fully provided. To meet their requirements of video appearance, you need more than a camera and a laptop. They do not provide you with equipment that is necessary and essential to appear professional. Managers are very incompetent, messy, and unprofessional. They are confusing and very dumb. They have poor understanding and comprehension. It is hard to take sick leave. Every little thing triggers a record of discussion which is a disciplinary conversation that goes on your record. Micromanagement. You cannot clock in more than one minute early. You cannot clock out more than one minute late. There is no room for growth. They want you to be their meat chicken all your life. You never meet with your managers unless you made an error.

Competitive PTO and benefits package Supportive direct manager Great coworkers on my team

If you came from the Vocye side, there definitely seemed to be a noticeable pay gap compared to newer hires and employees from the Martti side, even though many long-term employees were taking on larger workloads and more responsibilities over time. In my experience, workloads often exceeded what could realistically be completed during normal working hours, while overtime approval was heavily discouraged. Performance reviews were generally positive, but employees were regularly told there was no room for raises regardless of workload, increased responsibilities, or performance. After moving into a higher-level client management role with a much larger client load than others on the team, I was told my compensation would be adjusted to reflect the new responsibilities. Despite multiple conversations and repeated requests for clarification and a formal offer letter, more than a month passed while I was already fully performing the role without any adjustment being finalized. During that process, I was told it was “unprofessional” to continue asking about compensation and title clarification. I was also told that because I had previously accepted lower compensation under prior leadership, there was confusion as to why I was now making an issue of it under the new leadership team despite the increased responsibilities. When I finally received the formal offer and compensation adjustment, my title had also been lowered despite my responsibilities remaining the same. Following the Equiti transition, a significant portion of staff was laid off, which created a very unstable environment and hurt morale across teams.
