Avantages
Good starting salary, the job provides a good introduction into the translation industry. Plenty of opportunities for overtime. Colleagues tend to be friendly.
Inconvénients
Lack of career progression opportunities, very high turnover rate which places a strain on middle management. Reliance on steady stream of graduates means that people are only trained to a certain level -- beyond that, there's nowhere to go in terms of promotion or further training. Overtime culture to a certain extent - leaving on time on a regular basis is frowned upon. Stress is a real issue and is not taken seriously as a problem by HR/management, even when backed up by a doctor's note. No communication between senior management and staff. Positive feedback is rare.
