Pros

You get to meet and help interesting people from around the world. You can learn at least as much as you teach from your "students". If there are few students in an hour, Cambly guarantees pay for 15 minutes for every hour. Very friendly, understanding, thoughtful staff.

Cons

The rate (just over $10 per hour) would not be viable if you live in a "1st world" country. I live in Thailand, so $10 equates to $30-$40 per hour in real terms, which makes a big difference. If you have an unreliable Internet connection, you can be penalised for missing the hours that you schedule. This is automatic, so there is no appeal mechanism.

Pros

Very flexible schedule (you create your own), can easily cancel classes without too much of a penalty (make every student that you like a "regular" student so that if you get penalized...only regulars can book you...you have a huge pool of regulars), Cambly provides lessons, you can use almost any website as long as you don't need to share login information, it's fun and easy, many students become like friends, you can learn about different countries, cultures, and languages

Cons

The pay. It has never increased in the 14 years that Cambly has been in business. They are starting to offer a new program called "Cambly Pro" where you can make $15 an hour, but you have to apply to be a tutor for it and you could be denied. You have to have a 99% rating for 3 months to even be considered. If, like me, you are open to all students (and not just your regular students that you have become friends with), your rating can vary widely. No matter how good of a tutor you are, you will not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Cambly does not allow tutors to teach in some states in the U.S. due to labor laws.
