Pros

The flexible schedule is incredibly nice, and the pay for working from home is not bad. I get better pay tutoring here than I would get doing a part time service job. It's also extremely rewarding to work with students. Mentors and management are fairly easy to talk to and always show cool heads when something comes up. Many online companies do not seem to have a personal touch, but in five years, I have never had a bad email/phone exchange.

Cons

Hours are possible to get, but you have to sign up and vie for hours in a rush. Work is also not steady throughout the year. Winter break and summer break are rather slow, but both have improved greatly as tutor.com has expanded services over the past three years. I used to twiddle my thumbs all day during the summer to get even two hours a day, but now I can get four hours and just work on something else while floating (waiting) for a student.

Pros

The students are usually nice. Work from home.

Cons

There is no appreciation of employees. They give badges instead of raises. Don't be fooled by the $22 per hour posts. They do not pay that much for most tutoring. Most work is under $20/hr. The job that pays $22/hr is horrible according to most tutors. There is twice as much unpaid work involved compared with regular tutoring. This is not a job that pays a living wage. If you think you can stick out a low wage for a few years and then get a better wage from them, think again. They never give raises. The piddly 50 cents in January is not a raise. It is simply based on the minimum wage going up. It's an insult. If you think you can gain experience and then move on to another job think again. They don't give recommendations either. I hate working for this company. They have repeatedly tried (unsuccessfully) to get me to work without pay for things like training and meetings when they only pay min. wage even when they do pay. If they had their way, they would send all jobs to India, but their contract with the DOD is holding them back. This company is owned by the Chinese. Don't expect fair wages. I have to work more than 40 hours a week to get paid for 25 of them. Work-from-home jobs do not pay well, so keep that in mind when you are thinking about the benefits of working at home.
