Pros
--make you own schedule --work from home --expectations communicated clearly by management --more than adequate training, including regular additional workshops --regular and fair raise schedule (start at $15/hr, but can easily be into the $20's within a few months with good performance) --company likes to hire for senior positions from tutor pool, so there is opportunity to move up in the long term --recruitment bonuses if you help the company find other new hires
Cons
--you'll make less than you would tutoring in person --it is not always in the company's interest to tell parents the truth very bluntly (eg: your kid should not be studying for the SAT/ACT, as they are too far below college level to expect to perform well in college). To be fair to the company, they do try to communicate such things in gentler terms, but at the end of the day you have to be able to stomach the realities of test-prep tutoring: often the kid's time would be better spent in remedial classes, with a subject area tutor, in extracurricular activities, or [on rare occasions] even with a therapist, but even when you recognize that fact, you have no power to do anything about it.
