Pros

They get students to you. They provide software. You learn to operate in a dynamic setting, quickly changing focus.

Cons

There's a lot of points one could complain about and, instead of duplicating here, let me suggest perusing a few other reviews on glassdoor to get the idea. But I do dislike proposals of tutors to start organizing against tutor.com. If tutor.com breaks a law - fine, challenge it. But please stop whining about their policies, I assume they know why they have them in place. Move on if your cons so heavily outweigh the pros, or even better: start your own company and compete them out of business! I stayed for almost 2 years, got two promotions, got reasonable help from mentors, and learned a lot dealing with difficult students. Eventually it became clear that tutor.com's low pay makes this no longer worth my time, but that's a personal decision, in full respect to the opportunity tutor.com offered me.

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.
