Avantages

Usually they pay you on time at the ridiculously low agreed upon wage.

Inconvénients

Sometimes they don't. Furthermore, they do absolutely nothing to support tutors when they are harassed by students. As a tutor, you are expected to simply sit there and take it if a student is being demeaning, unresponsive, or simply asking for answers and unwilling to do any work. All tutors are assigned "mentors" who seem to be mindless corporate drones that simply add insult to injury when a disgruntled student gives you an unjustified negative review. Every month or so, you are given an "assessment" by your mentor, which simply nitpicks your performance regardless of how well you're doing. Tutor.com has "guidelines" that you are supposed to keep sessions with students below 20-30 minutes depending on the subject, which is nearly impossible if it's a complex topic or if its with an unprepared student. However, mentors will harass you if you do anything to speed up the sessions by giving any sort of an answer or doing any of the steps for them.

Avantages

The students are usually nice. Work from home.

Inconvénients

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.
