Liberty Language Services

There are several pros and cons of working with Liberty Language Servcies:

Pros: 

1-) The schedule is very flexible. In theory you can apply for as many gigs as you want or need. 

2-) The clients and patients are often friendly and receptive despite the often dire circumstances that they're in.

3-) The assignments are often close to where I live, which minimises logistical problems.

Cons:

1-) Almost anything you say and do-- or don't do-- gets you a "complaint". Often includes things that have nothing to do with your job performance, i.E wearing jeans or sneakers, displays of nervous tics during assignments,  or translation difficulties due to signal problems.

2-) Unsteady hours. When you apply for too many gigs at a time, they tend to treat you like garbage. Often times, job postings are gone within a minute or two, and they tend to appear while you're in the middle of an assignment. 

3-) They can be extremely picky and petty over the dress code, despite the fact that most of the assignments are very informal. I don't dress like a homeless person at all, but I find this obsession with the dress code petty. 

I have worked on and off for Liberty for about 3 and a half years as a Spanish interpreter. My job is seasonal and I have children at home. This company gives me the ability to take assignments when they are right for me. I was allowed to change my own hourly rate, but ended up keeping it $25 an hour to stay competitive and remain high on their priority interpreter list. While it sucks to compete against other interpreters, that is how business works so I understand it. I also get paid more on assignments that are for say, a legal appointment, than I do for an appointment for parent teacher conferences. I am not sure what my hourly would average out to, but my rate is not less than $25.

The worst aspect of this job is that I would arrive at an assignment to realize the session was cancelled. I was not notified by LLS management of the cancellation.
Some assignments it is difficult to watch the family suffer as a result of their child being so sick.
My last assignment was at a mental facility for 16 hours. During those two days I did only 20 minutes of interpreting. I was not allowed to leave the premises.

Liberty Language Services is a great place to work because there is a culture of respect and kindness.  At Liberty we work as a team and respect and help one another to complete a task.
Management is always available and ready to listen to any problems and/or questions.
The best part of the job is rising to the occasion and getting the job done.
The hardest part of the job - actually there is none if you are dedicated, willing and able to do what is required of you.
In the almost ten years at Liberty I have learned that it takes respect, hard work, willingness to go the extra mile, patience and fortitude to get the job done and to enjoy doing it.

You are in charge of picking your own assignments. 

Starting rate 28/hour (2022) no mileage

A lot of 1 and 2 hr appointments, some longer appointments at psychiatry available but not as often

Could be useful if Liberty provided a database with parking information or more information about certain departments that are tricky to get to or hard to find. 

Texting scheduling is always better than calling in my experience

Great place to work and gain experience, professional staff in scheduling and auditing department 

I have been able to make a lot of extra cash with this job but not sure if it's enough to do it as a full time job, sometimes there's just not as much demand



Whether you join the company as a freelance interpreter or as an office employee, Liberty is certainly a great place to start your career. Over the years, I've seen Liberty train a lot of bilinguals who want to begin interpreting professionally. If you aren't experienced yet as an interpreter, the freelance positions at Liberty are a great way to get introduced to the field. Likewise, joining the company as a young professional has been a wonderful experience for me. Since the internal team is quite small, employees  are given the chance to work on more projects and explore other parts of the business they may be interested in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great leadership, working conditions, good salary, and payment of breaks included.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing is stressful. Supervisor defines and communicates expectations and desired outcomes in advance. She also makes sure that everyone is on the same page.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very friendly. 👋 Mañana working relationships cannot be better 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Online classes. We usually start with an opening activity, focused targets, guided and independent practice, and closure.

The hardest part of the job is showing up for assignments and finding that many assignments were cancelled or rescheduled without the Liberty Languages staff notifying me in advance.

I was unable to interact with other interpreters in the company.

I had the opportunity to meet with many patients from my native land.  I was exposed to the different types of ailments and illnesses common and uncommon in this population.

The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the clients and their parents, listening to their stories.

I work with our clients needs to provide interpreters for specific languages for their appointments.  I work in a GREAT environment, with tons of support whenever I need it. 
I have evolved so much in this job...there are quite a few things that happen behind the scenes that I initially didn't know about and now with our Daily Stand Up Meetings we are all "in the know" for what is going on in the company! 
This by far has been the best company I have worked for!!  They are flexible, understanding, giving (very giving) and willing to work with you should emergencies arise!

I have enjoyed working at Liberty since my very first day of starting. The work environment in place has enabled me to become multifaceted. My managers/supervisors have always made me feel comfortable and have assisted me to reach personal and company goals to the best of their ability. The workplace calls for self-motivation (which I enjoy), and with all of my colleagues pushing themselves, I am able to and love seeing projects or other work(s) be completed.
