Pluspunten

-As many have mentioned already, the flexibility in scheduling. -Are not forced to do concurrent sessions (I think some other online tutoring companies do that) -Tutor at tutor.com if you have nothing better to do with your time, or if you're desperate for the extra little money

Minpunten

I have no clue why some reviews praise the mentor system. Your mentor rarely (if ever) offers much encouragement and berates you for the tiniest infractions. Your boss (aka mentor) suggests "improvements" for your sessions even for the very sessions I receive excellent feedback and ratings on just to hold you back from promotion and to keep you on your toes. They pay tutors the same regardless of which subjects you tutor. If you're planning to tutor chemistry, physics, or calculus, beware that the questions can be extremely random and they expect you to be an encyclopedia (when they pay so little!), so that will hurt your ratings and stats. For example, college students log in and ask upper year civil engineering questions as "Physics" and if you decline them, your stats look bad and your boss gets angry at you.

Pluspunten

The students are usually nice. Work from home.

Minpunten

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.
