Pros
Prepnow has a number of pros - although the starting rate for tutors is somewhat low, the raises become better the longer you have worked there. You teach from your own home, avoiding travel time and expenses. The curriculum for the SAT and ACT courses is very good, so your students generally see an improvement in their scores. The people you work with are friendly and efficient. You don't have to deal with the marketing end of being a tutor - selling your talent, finding students, keeping students, etc. - they are already prepaid and ready to learn for 9 or 15 weeks. I enjoy working for Prepnow and am very happy that I found something that is so reliable and pays well that I can do from home.
Cons
As other tutors have noted, you are not compensated for the communication time you spend calling and emailing parents. The parents are paying top dollar for the tutoring services and expect 100% of your attention and interest in their child. I field emails, texts, and calls from parents throughout the day, and also spend a lot of time writing class-followups. I think per student I spend a total of 2 hours in communication time over the course of the average 15-class prep course, and I am not paid for this time. I am making less per hour than I would if I tutored locally in person, but on the other hand I don't have to deal with drumming up business and traveling to people's homes. I don't have much "co" to say - working for Prepnow is a real plus in my life.
