Pros

Flexible hours (you pick what works for you and you can decide at the last minute if you want to work a priority hour. No requirement for the number of hours you work. Work as much or as little as you want. Weekly PayPal pay every Monday as long as you make over 20 bucks for the week. Meeting people from all over the world.

Cons

Trial calls can be awkward. I think they can leave feedback for you, which can easily lower your score. They aren't paying for the service so they can say whatever they want. Pay is only 17 cents per minute and there is never a guarantee of how many calls you will get so you cannot anticipate a certain amount each week.

Pros

Very flexible schedule (you create your own), can easily cancel classes without too much of a penalty (make every student that you like a "regular" student so that if you get penalized...only regulars can book you...you have a huge pool of regulars), Cambly provides lessons, you can use almost any website as long as you don't need to share login information, it's fun and easy, many students become like friends, you can learn about different countries, cultures, and languages

Cons

The pay. It has never increased in the 14 years that Cambly has been in business. They are starting to offer a new program called "Cambly Pro" where you can make $15 an hour, but you have to apply to be a tutor for it and you could be denied. You have to have a 99% rating for 3 months to even be considered. If, like me, you are open to all students (and not just your regular students that you have become friends with), your rating can vary widely. No matter how good of a tutor you are, you will not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Cambly does not allow tutors to teach in some states in the U.S. due to labor laws.
