Pros

If you like to tutor and you can't get enough of it, then this place is great. Scheduling is more flexible than most places you'd work. It could be rewarding if it has been a good shift and the students have been great (and it could go the other way around as well).

Cons

I can affirm that the review “Too Much Criticism and Slow Advancement” is very accurate and I agree with it. I'm not a ranter because I do get pretty good ratings, and I've been tutoring for a year now, but just because I'm doing my job well, it doesn't mean the job itself is awesome. Additional things that may not have been mentioned: Yes, I totally agree that the management (called "mentors"... but they really act as if they're your boss) criticize you a lot and nitpick even though your ratings are already fantastic. I don't understand why they'd pick a sessions in which the student gave you good ratings and very positive comments and then criticize you for those. The management is extremely whimsical and especially since they switch mentors so often, it's almost impossible to please them. *Sigh* the dilemma of whether to give answers away (or many other things that students will demand, like going overtime and they'd rant) to avoid getting a bad rating and risk being reprimanded by your boss.

Pros

You get to choose which subjects you want to tutor, and you get to choose when you want to tutor. It's very flexible, and you get to pick what works best for you. There's a hierarchy system within the company that makes sure each tutor has a real specific person to go to when he/she has questions, and the quality of the work done by tutors is reviewed often to ensure quality.

Cons

There is a limit to how many hours you can work - but it was intended as a part-time job anyway.

Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Tutor.com is the flexibility that you have in terms of when you want to work and how often you want to work. And, despite what time you want to tutor, there are bound to be students needing assistance. It's a great feeling when you help a student.

Cons

Some of the downsides include the time it takes to get a promotion. It requires quite a bit of a time investment as well as a performance review.
