Pros

they have flexible times for working

Cons

My mentor didn't help me. She often only pointed out what I did wrong and asked if I reviewed the resources even after I told her I did. She was condescending and rude. I received an email with an invite to review and an incentive to include my name. I did and two days later, I was placed on a sort of probation when I was supposed to move out of probationary status. The pay is terrible.

Pros

I've only been working with them for a few months, but there is definitely a few pros. The hours are extremely flexible, you schedule your own or you can float (but you don't get paid for the waiting time when you float). It's also a very rewarding job since you are helping people. For your first few months, you also work with a mentor that will basically instruct you on your approach and offer some tips. I would pretty much recommend this job to someone who wants to earn extra money on the side or to a college student

Cons

One big con is the dry spells. Usually, when there's no school in session, the site is dead. Of course, you get your one or few in the summer, but you have to wait a while before that even happens. It's also hard to schedule hours at times; unless you are the earliest day to schedule, it's hard to sign up for an hour. Also, not every student would want to work with you in the way the site wants you to work with them. Many just want the answer or want you to be quick. Sometimes it's hard to not get frustrated when this happens. Also, you only get paid to wait if you are scheduled for that hour, which is why this is really meant as a part-time job and not full-time. If you float around for a session (when you're not scheduled), then you don't get paid while waiting. You're only paid if you're in session.

Pros

Flexible schedule Nice and useful mentor

Cons

Some students were extremely rude I complained in the surveys many times about the unfairness of the rating system due to their tech issues, but nobody cared
