Pros

Good place to start after university providing good training on tools used in the industry and on post-edition.

Cons

Language services provider that could not care less for it's linguists. Absolutely no employee retention (they don't even try) so everyone leaves by the time they reach 5 years. Linguists must manage several demanding clients and even more projects management and translation tools causing a daily nightmare. Terrible communication between departments, leading to catastrophic situations.

Pros

Decent paying side job, flexible hours

Cons

Absolute nightmare to get paid. You WILL have to complain in order to get paid, and you will most likely have to complain more than once in order to get the answer you need. I still haven't been paid for work done months ago! Everyone that reads this with a similar issue needs to do what I did and bring it to the attention of the state labor boards.
