Ventajas
Flexible work hours, if you can spend lots of time "floating", with NO compensation for that time. Work/Life balance is good.
Desventajas
If you are thinking of working as a tutor for Tutor.com, PLEASE give careful consideration to the thoughtfully-written one- and two-star reviews that you'll find here. For some reason, Tutor.com does not seem to recognize that its most valuable assets are its tutors! Of course, paying customers are extremely important, too; but, they don't "belong" to Tutor.com in the sense that the tutors do. I agree completely with the sentiment that another reviewer contributed: "- There is a paradox . . . .: according to policy, you are not permitted to give answers directly to students. Students only want answers. Dissatisfied students give bad ratings. Mentors scold you for having bad ratings and remind you to follow policies. Please think about that vicious cycle for a while. It explains just about everything you need to know about (what's BAD) working for Tutor.com." In my own experience, the so-called Mentors are REALLY bad, not functioning as helpful "mentors" at all! That being so, I would say you can ignore most, if not all, of the five-star reviews written here by the tutor III level employees.
