Pros

The best part is being able to work from home (or anywhere you have Internet connection). It's a fairly easy job if you know the subject and when I started they had a lot of subjects to choose from. It's nice to be able to log on when you have free time but that doesn't mean you'll have a student.

Cons

If you tutor anywhere else you will most likely be paid more. I think you get paid less due to the convenience. The time limits can be ridiculous, some students need to spend additional time on a problem compared to others but you'll be criticized no matter what the reason is. You can do two sessions at one time and your pay increases by a small amount, I don't think it's worth the trouble to try tutoring two students at a time though. As a new tutor, I was never able to schedule hours, which means I only was able to float. If your a tutor 2 or 3, you can probably make a good amount of money by scheduling but it may take a while to get there. I don't think it's worth the time to get there.

Pros

The students are usually nice. Work from home.

Cons

There is no appreciation of employees. They give badges instead of raises. Don't be fooled by the $22 per hour posts. They do not pay that much for most tutoring. Most work is under $20/hr. The job that pays $22/hr is horrible according to most tutors. There is twice as much unpaid work involved compared with regular tutoring. This is not a job that pays a living wage. If you think you can stick out a low wage for a few years and then get a better wage from them, think again. They never give raises. The piddly 50 cents in January is not a raise. It is simply based on the minimum wage going up. It's an insult. If you think you can gain experience and then move on to another job think again. They don't give recommendations either. I hate working for this company. They have repeatedly tried (unsuccessfully) to get me to work without pay for things like training and meetings when they only pay min. wage even when they do pay. If they had their way, they would send all jobs to India, but their contract with the DOD is holding them back. This company is owned by the Chinese. Don't expect fair wages. I have to work more than 40 hours a week to get paid for 25 of them. Work-from-home jobs do not pay well, so keep that in mind when you are thinking about the benefits of working at home.
