    Do the Right Thing, Always

    Conflicts can cause project challenges that we must address well to deliver successfully. We promise what can be done, clearly explain the situation, listen, and be fair. Essentially, we follow through on what we say we will do.

    This is also a value Argo Translation lives by with its employees. We emphasize that employees treat each other with understanding and always do the right thing. We help each other in times of crisis with projects, clients, work scheduling issues, and anything else that may happen.

    Listen to Understand

    Listening to customers and fellow employees produces a clear understanding of any situation. We take time to listen without interrupting and work on solutions together. 

    Argo Translation listens to their employees regarding any problems with clients, other employees, or any personal issues that may be affecting them. Together we can work on solutions.

    Treat Each Other Like Family

    Argo Translation has always been big on treating employees like family. If an employee needs help at work, at home, or otherwise, we will try to help as best we can. Employees are also encouraged to listen to and help each other whenever necessary. This helps everyone feel more comfortable and supported, not only at work but in life in general.

    "There is not a culture of superiors and inferiors ~ even those with significantly more experience have always referred to me as their colleague from Day 1, and it's cool knowing that you are worthy of the same respect as everyone else."

    -Kati Latta, Project Manager
