Pros

Tutors can work from home and have a flexible schedule.

Cons

When I was hired at Paper I was told that I could regularly expect around 30 hours of work per week. Once employment started, I was lucky to get 20. Sometimes, I even got 12 or 15 hours when I had submitted 60 hours of availability. The company constantly talks about "equity" but does not pay their tutors fairly. Canadian tutor make less that US tutors for the same work. Management always claims to care about tutors but does not back this up with their actions. Recently, 24 tutors were fired without cause for speaking up about labor issues in the workplace. This is not a reliable, stable, or lucrative career.

Pros

Real remote flexibility here. They are embracing the technology we have to ensure our work life balance remains a high priority. You're trusted to manage your own time and get the job done without constant oversight. The bigger story though is the turnaround over the last year and a half. The new leadership has turned the ship around... before it fell off the map. The mission is clear now, and there's real room to help shape how we get there rather than crossing our fingers, closing our eyes, and hoping for the least worst.

Cons

Leadership communication is where things fall a bit short. We get the monthly all-hands and then... radio silence. I get it, priorities compete and there's a lot on their plate. But when the crew is the one actually rowing the boat, it helps to hear from the captain more than once a month. The occasional engagement via Slack, a little more visibility in between the big meetings would go a long way toward keeping everyone rowing in the same direction. We're all in this together - it's helpful to be reminded why a bit more often.
