Pros

Tutor.com gives you the chance to work with mentors who will guide you on the path to becoming a better tutor, while developing your own personal style. The scheduling is totally flexible and the pay is decent considering you can get in with virtually zero experience, and there's a really decent promotion schedule. Setting your own schedule and being able to work almost whenever you want is a really nice feature.

Cons

The job has a few downsides - the pay for concurrent sessions is less than it should be, hours can be difficult to find sometimes (your personal availability schedule does not always match peak student schedule), and connecting with students long-term to give them the real, individualized help they need is all but impossible because of the anonymous, randomly-assigned nature of the sessions.

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.
