Pros

In an Internet rife with international fraud, bogus work-at-home scams and academic cheating services, tutor.com stands out as a prime example of what an on-line enterprise should be. This outfit has always been dead-solid honest academically and financially in both letter and spirit. There have never been any sort of hidden or unanticipated charges to students. The administrative staff is friendly and stable. The tutors are of high quality and are treated well, and the tone of communications is friendly and professional. I wish I could say the same for other such firms, but it seems that tutor.com is a uniquely straight-up operation. I don't mind at all that the classroom technology is conservative, because it is stable and it works.

Cons

Any on-line job has its disadvantages, and perhaps the pay might be higher, but the company is quite straightforward about it. It's not for everyone, but I find it enjoyable.

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.
