Pluspunten

flexible, work from home, provides some extra side income

Minpunten

* tutor "support" is sucky - they barely reply and if they do they're not in any hurry * it took THREE MONTHS for them to get their act together and mail my first check * my "mentor" nit picks to find something wrong and doesn't return my emails when i have questions for her * it's hard to get hours - I'm a tutor 1 and I'm limited to SIX hours a week (it's very hard to get decent hours, meaning not at 2-4AM, when you're a probationary tutor because they get the schedule last) * floating is useless, students go to scheduled tutors first * pay is affected by the ratings students give you, even if unfair or really bad for no reason (and they don't remove unfair ratings) * recommended to keep sessions to 21 minutes which is challenging and leaves students frustrated and wanting more from me but my mentor complains when I go longer than that

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.
