Pros

I am afraid there are no pros

Cons

they don't pay unless taken to court; they cut rates blaming it on their clients which is a blatant lie; they use emotional blackmail to get their interpreters to accept degrading rates; they employ unqualified bilingual people who pose as professional interpreters; they infiltrate closed internet fora and threaten people who voice their concerns about the degrading working conditions; they keep and process people's data despite numerous requests to be removed of their register and keep sending nuisance messages; in a nuthshell: the opposite of a prodessional and reliable employer, a rogue agency which is driving down rates and destroying the industry. It seems they are finally on their way down which is a great relief for the poor users of their services and their army of slave interpreters.

Pros

None, maybe i can get my 500 pounds now that the company seems to be back after it went bankrupt in 2017 and didn’t pay me for my work and transportation paid out of pocket

Cons

Did not pay me for my work. Mind you I was an immigrant student and really needed the money to support my housing costs.
