Pros

Flexible work hours Pay even when there are no students during signed up hours. 401K Matching. Working from home.

Cons

The company forces tutors to follow their guidelines, rather than allowing tutors to tutor the best way to make student clients happy, which is truly the ultimate goal of a business. Tutors are not rewarded well for going above and beyond. Their "mentor" system is more like having a boss, and in my experience, a very criticizing one. Lack of hours. Unwillingness to grant promotion despite reaching promotion thresholds.

Pros

I have yet to encounter a good reason.

Cons

They are saturated with tutors. I signed up with Tutor.com in December of last year. Every Friday for 3 months I signed in religiously to schedule hours. There were no hours available, ever. Occasionally, they allowed new probationary tutors to schedule hours on Wednesdays, which is the day that higher level tutors can schedule hours. Even then, there were no hours available except for one instance when there were two or so hours available at like 3:00 AM on a Sunday morning. I had school that morning, so I couldn't take those hours. In short, I was "active" with Tutor.com for three months and was not able to get a single hour scheduled. Not one. What really discouraged me, is that I wasn't even able to get hours when they allowed me to "go to the front of the pack" by giving me the scheduling privileges of a high level tutor. That showed me that I wouldn't be able to get hours even if I had been there for years. This is all very frustrating for me, because I spent a lot of time preparing for and then taking the two required subject tests (yes, you have to test into two subjects, not one like they pretend), taking the proctored session, and then logging in repeatedly to try and get hours.
