Pros

week to week schedule/availability, benefits as an employee (rather than contractor like many tutoring jobs), remote

Cons

difficult to get hours and scheduling was based on a relatively nebulous algorithm, tight timelines for essay reviews, AI "tools" which made the job more taxing and frustrating, company was oppositional to employee efforts to organize, I was initially hired with a clear pay + raise structure which was later changed and raises were unclear and seemed uncommon if they still happened, too many students/essays expected per tutor, overall felt like an experience where it was hard to be my best self as a teacher/tutor -- I felt sort of diluted at best

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.
