Pros

The flexibility in scheduling hours is unbeatable. Now that Tutor.com offers services 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, you can pick any time to work their 5 hour/ week recommendation. You also have great flexibility in canceling a scheduled session when an emergency comes. While the pay doesn't quite compare to what a private tutor could earn on their own, the ease of the online system, their payment options, the unbeatable flexibility and the fact that you can do it from anywhere make for a job I wouldn't give up.

Cons

The pay could be better. In some way they've actually decreased the pay for the tutors in recent years. This was originally due to the "recession," but I'm not sure if it will increase afterwards.

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.
