Toxic Work Environment!

Pros

You can choose your hours

Cons

Unfortunately, there's a ton. First, they check whether or not you're using "perfect" lighting. Even if you're in a well-lit room, they expect your face to not have a shadow on it. Second, there's a ton of server-related issues so don't be surprised when you stop receiving calls once in awhile. Third, if your student has connection problems they'll blame and report you for something that's out of your hands! Fourth, students can call you and hang up on you anytime they please without finishing their minutes packages. Fifth, students who make reservations with you can cancel on the last minute OR even worse...allow the reservation period to begin, not cancel...and you only get compensated for 10 minutes worth of time and won't be able to answer a potential 30 minute or more call from another student. Sixth, the app is really bloated and so you can't have too many browsers open. Finally, you have to answer every call that comes your way and finish the minutes packages regardless of whether or not it's a 1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute or 1 hour call. So even if you want to ignore trolls and others who waste time you can't...otherwise they'll fire you like they did with me!

Pros

Work from home, Okayish pay, meet different people.

Cons

Your voice will start to hurt, have to deal with some frustrating people. If someone doesn't like you just because, they can just give you a bad rating which can completely screw you over. Company doesn't care about you too much compared to getting money from their customers and keeping them happy.

Five min free talk time offered to anyone brings some childish or aggressive people online HOWEVER by the simple click of a button that person is banned from the system for life.
