Pros

At least I didn't have leave my house

Cons

Company puts you through multiple steps of interviews with a platform only compatible on Windows 10. Onboarding takes months. Then if you are finally onboarded you are put in a holding pattern with no answers about the ETA of your job starting time because there are 'too many applicants'. This is for a job paying nearly minimum wage to an endless batch of saps with useless humanities and MA degrees. If you ever wanted to feel completely expendable and worthless as if waiting in a digital bread and water line then this is the job for you. It will be months before you can actually start working. You're paid little. There are so many applicants they cannot even guarantee you work if hired. Also a caveat, you can't do this overseas even though the job is remote.

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.
