Pros

-Work from home -Flexible, you can log on and "float" to tutor anytime -Pay for STEM subjects is decent ($12-15) -15% pay increase if doing two sessions at one time The biggest pro is that it seems nearly impossible to get fired provided you do your job. I have taken a few long breaks (3 months without tutoring) even during the school season without giving any notice. I got promoted to Tutor II without doing anything. As long as your tutoring sessions are good, you approach students with enthusiasm and helpfulness, and follow the rules, it is very easy to do well at this company. I only tutor 5-7 hours a week for a bit of supplementary income, so I can't speak on behalf of those who tutor much more frequently.

Cons

Can be hard to schedule hours, but if you just float at busy times of the year, it is easy to get sessions for the busier STEM subjects (calculus and chemistry especially).

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.
