Pros

I have had the privilege of working with Tutor.com, and I've had a great time there. They gave a great training experience to learn exactly how to work with students, and the Tutor.com software they used for tutoring students was very expressive in communicating with students, which was essential to have a successful tutoring session. Also, it really helps that Tutor.com gives you your own hours to work with, so this is very convenient when it comes to a busy schedule. In short, 1.) Great training program 2.) Easy-to-use tutoring software 3.) Set up your own hours

Cons

On the other hand, I've had difficulty getting students in order to tutor. Some hours, I'm completely open (this is called "floating"), and I would this for hours at a time, with varying success. This instability had me question my financial status more often than not, which was an uncomfortable position to be in. In short, 1.) "Floating tutors" have a consequence leading to unstable income Of course, Tutor.com is a recent program, so the enterprise is still growing.

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.
