Pros

Working for this company is definitely low stress. I have been a teacher in front of a classroom for 30 or more students for the last 11 years. The difference between Cambly and being a classroom teacher is a hundred times less stress. I worked for a large school district with major demands. These demands included a classroom of students with different needs and personalities not to mention discipinary issues and lesson plans. The wonderful thing about Cambly is that I can focus on one person at a time with needs I am able to fulfill easily. Also, I love being able to work whenever I need to without following a schedule that is hectic, or if i am sick it allows me to rest and continue work when I am feeling better.

Cons

Pay could be better, but I don't mind considering it helps me improve my skills as a teacher.

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.
