Pros

Flexibility is enjoyable, working from home is nice Meeting people from around the world.

Cons

Constantly being blamed for their technical problems. It takes 2 seconds for them to reprimand you but 3 days for them to reply back if you try to fight it. Most of the time they blame you. Reservations appearing that you did not confirm. Or reservations being booked by nonregular students when you put down regular students only. (Don't contact support though, they will just blame you yet again) Priority hours being scheduled that you did not pick, then you being "released" from those hours because you are nowhere near your computer. I am only on here because of my internet speed. The minute the internet is improved in my location I am gone.

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.
