Pros

Can work outside of the State

Cons

1. Future Group claims to be a US-based company but is actually headquartered in Cairo, Egypt. 2. Future Group offers translation and interpretation services to US and UK hospitals, legal departments, and other authorities but fails to comply with legal payment standards for its employees. 3. Although Future Group advertises an hourly payment rate of $6 for interpreters, most employees receive only $4–$5 per hour. 4. Future Group frequently delays wage payments to its employees. 5. Future Group often pays employees less than what was initially promised in their contracts. When employees request their rightful wages, Future Group arbitrarily reduces their pay and demoted its employees. 6. The remote contracts signed between Future Group and its employees lack legal validity due to the absence of authoritative electronic signatures. 7. Future Group ranks its employees every month without any clear criteria or standards. 8. Future Group unilaterally changes its employees' supervisors and working arrangements without considering employees' input or preferences. This results in incomplete handovers, unmodified contracts, and employees being compelled to perform unreasonable tasks without prior consent. 9. Freelance interpreters at Future Group are not permitted to work flexible schedules and are instead required to adhere to a fixed schedule. 10. Future Group insists that employees who advocate for their rights must complete their notice period before leaving and threatens them with non-payment for their prior work if they fail to do so. 11. Future Group routinely provides employees with inaccurate performance evaluations and forces them to work during peak hours while maintaining the same pay rate as off-peak hours. Employees who refuse this arrangement face arbitrary pay reductions and demotion. 12. Future Group compels employees to perform tasks unrelated to their job responsibilities outside of their paid hours. Furthermore, Future Group subjects its employees to various inhumane conditions: 1) Employees are required to activate an auto clicker and answer calls within 2 seconds, failing which a 5% salary deduction is imposed. 2) There are only three breaks, with an additional 5-minute allowance for restroom breaks. Otherwise, employees are expected to work without respite. 3) Missing any calls results in a 5% salary deduction. 4) Even approved leaves are recorded as zero productivity on performance sheets, which Future Group uses as a pretext to force employees to work during peak hours at lower pay rates.

Pros

Their system is pretty light and you don't need a vey expensive laptop to work for them neither a lot of internet.

Cons

There was a huge misunderstanding and lack of trust from my manager and I decided to quit. They kept my previous month salary and never sent it too me. They kept about a thousand US dollars for me. Their pay rates was relatively very low as well.

Pros

Provides positions to poorer countries

Cons

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Future Group, and I feel compelled to share my deeply negative experience with this company. My interactions with Future Group have left me frustrated and thoroughly disappointed. It all began in the spring when I applied for a position as an interpreter at Future Group. After a seemingly endless waiting period, I finally received a response in June. I was delighted to hear that I had been offered the position and eagerly started the training process, investing time and effort into preparing for my new role. I completed the training on July 10th. However, my optimism quickly faded when I received a rejection from Future Group in August, stating that I did not qualify. This abrupt dismissal after weeks of training was perplexing and disheartening, to say the least. It seemed as though Future Group had no regard for the time and energy I had dedicated to their training. Despite this initial setback, my ordeal with Future Group was far from over. In a surprising turn of events, they reached out to me once more on September 20th, offering me a position with the company. Eager for employment and impressed by the compensation package, I accepted the offer with high hopes. Regrettably, my optimism was misplaced yet again. Future Group assured me that they would send me my work schedule, but as of now, I have received nothing. They have once again left me in the dark, without any communication or clarity regarding my role or responsibilities. This unethical behavior has wasted not only my time but also my opportunities. Twice, I rejected offers from other companies, fully believing that I would be working with Future Group. Their consistent failure to follow through on promises, their lack of communication, and their apparent disregard for prospective employees have left me feeling exploited and disrespected. In summary, my experience with Future Group has been marred by unprofessionalism, mismanagement, and a blatant disregard for the time and commitment of potential employees. I would strongly caution anyone considering employment with this company to think twice. Future Group's actions have displayed a lack of integrity and respect, leaving a trail of unfulfilled promises and dashed hopes in their wake.
