Pros

Online tutoring, no need to commute. Flexible hours, can schedule a few hours in advance or logon and wait for students without scheduling (they use the term float). Tutoring is open 24/7, students may come any time. Can work from any location with stable Internet access and standard PC. Great students. Performance-based bonuses. Promotions are rather easy to get for qualified tutors. Some mentors are great and fully support and encourage tutors in good and bad times.

Cons

Strict policies regarding session lengths (cannot work with a student longer than x number of minutes), acceptance percentages (must accept more than y% requests), x and y depend on the subject. Violations may result in warnings and terminations. Sometimes it is difficult to explain a concept or work on a problem and stay within limits. Certain questions may be outside the subject area but there is no clear rule to determine that. Bonuses and tutor employment depend heavily on student ratings some of which may be undeserved but cannot be removed. Some mentors are not so great and only concentrate on negative sides. Stress because of the above.

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.
