Pros
Good pay and remote setup.
Cons
All new SAT instructors are required to go through a 3-week training process where you listen to some sample recordings, look at their teaching outlines, and prepare a few 15-minute lessons. Seems straightforward enough, right? In reality, my trainer was incredibly pedantic and rigid throughout the process. I was cited for venturing a couple words off their sample recordings, for crossing out answers with a freehand line rather than the shape tool, and even for the one time the dog barked in the background (once in the entire 8-hour session). In fact, I'd often receive 30-45 minutes of straight criticism -- longer than the lesson I taught. After each week's session, they'd send a feedback document with 2500+ words, accompanied by a 1000+ word email, plus timestamps and screenshots of all my mistakes, CCed to the training department heads. After the training, I received no notice from TPR for 2+ weeks. Suddenly, I was informed that my employment was terminated. No reason why, no feedback, and of course no response when I asked about it -- despite all those lengthy emails while I was in training. I have a few years of experience and a substitute teaching license, so I don't believe poor performance is to blame. tl;dr: TPR values perfect conformity over helping students learn. They're also keen to criticize yet quick to ghost at the end of it. Stay away!
