Pros

Weekly pay that is on time.

Cons

Men and children as young as 10 years old exposing their genitals and masturbating on camera. No support from Cambly what so ever. If you complain on their facebook they will boot you from the group instead of helping you. Random people calling you and instead of wanting to learn english they use your recording to post racist things about westerners on youtube (this happened to me). Married men from Saudi Arabia and Turkey constantly hitting on you. Students calling then randomly hanging up on you, screaming at you for no reason, flipping you off, asking you innapropriate questions and trying to force you to participate in activities not related to learning and when you refuse or hang up and forget to ban them they will rate you so poorly you won't be able to pick up on any priority hours. The pay is woeful, you'll work hard for an hour and you probably won't get as many calls as you like so sometimes you can get paid just 5 dollars.

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.
