Pros
Relatively flexibility in terms of scheduling, ability to work from home, meeting interesting students from all over the world
Cons
-does not pay enough, initial wage since early 2010's has not increased adjusted to inflation, cost of living, etc. -almost arbitrary rating system (not even all students have to rate you) with very little explanation, no opportunity for students to give even anonymous feedback for teachers in their ratings -awful technical problems, constantly. The interface constantly breaks, the shared materials and chat often break and students AND teachers can't use them. Awful technical support, barely any human contact or anyone to hold liable. Apologies or answers rarely given -has shut out teachers from work temporarily for EXCUSED absences (did not happen to me, but to many peers I have seen). Cambly refuses to see any medical document you offer to show them, no matter how many times you offer -work environment online that pushes blame onto employees whenever a genuine issue or problem is raised. Racially and culturally insensitive comments frequently posted in the facebook groups where issues are supposed to be "resolved" -will not respond to your serious technical or professional issues, but will take their time to watch your entire videos and nag you about not sitting in the proper position, a minor detail in your background, etc. while students frequently smoke, eat, have loud music playing, drive their cars while talking, and have loud friends and family in the background disrupting lessons. -As a non-heterosexual, I am essentially forced to hide certain mannerisms and lie to 60+% of my clientele about my sexual orientation (as cambly focuses heavily on the middle east) but cambly still instructs its women instructors to "cover up"
