Pros

- Flexible scheduling One of the best elements of working with Tutor.com is the fact that when you work is completely at your discretion so long as you meet the weekly minimum. - Consistently respectful students The service works in such a way that the vast majority of students I've tutored are engaged, polite and ready to learn. There are outliers, and sometimes they can be exceptionally trying. Still, the service provides safeguards to ensure you have some recourse against disrespectful students.

Cons

- Feedback schedule Once leaving the probationary period, tutors receive feedback every 6 weeks (at best). More experienced educators may prefer this, but it can be a bit disorienting for people newer to the field. - Second job only The service is intended to provide second jobs and supplementary incomes to its tutors. That works well enough, but there seems to be little real advancement available beyond a higher hourly rate and optional mentor duties.

Pros

I am at work and sitting on my couch at the same time. Some sessions are quite fulfilling, with serious students who grow and learn from the experience and express sincere gratitude for the support. Direct deposit is convenient and never (so far . . . in a year) delayed more than 48 hours.

Cons

Upper management is arrogant and, in the event of the slightest policy violation, communicates with tutors as if they represent a principal speaking with a misbehaving, immature child. There is no flexibility for error in intepretation of lengthy policies (that span two 80+ page documents, for which there is no compensation to spend time memorizing). Policies change frequently, and keeping up with expecations is nearly impossible. Full-time employment (equalling benefits) is skirted around with a limitation of 30 hours per week. While students write reviews and rate tutors, results are provided to tutors as a rating. There is no way to verify accuracy or read comments to gain experience from student responses to sessions. Pay is low.
