Pros

-You have full control of your schedule and work on your own terms and hours, since you work for yourself -The job itself is easy since you can do this job on your computer or tablet anywhere with a strong wifi connection -Very laidback teaching control of your environment -You can travel full-time and be wherever you want in the world with this job, allowing for better work-life balance -This job is perfect for anyone young wanting more time to travel but also wanting to still earn an income at the same time

Cons

-Taxes, you are responsible for saving and paying out your taxes each year if you are American, and the taxes for an independent contractor can be quite a chunk for making not even $11/hour -No opportunity for a raise. I worked at Cambly for five years and never made above $10.20/hour. -No health insurance or dental insurance available -No physical colleagues or collaboration of a workplace, you are pretty isolated unless you join a Facebook forum or other online community -No opportunity for growth, once again, because you have no control over any sort of raise and therefore earn the same having years of experience under your belt vs. someone else who has zero experience -Long hours, and you don't always make the full $10.20/hour and are technically paid $0.17/minute. If you have a student who doesn't show up, then you are only paid a fraction of the $10.20 and the time online can become exhausting and wasteful.
