Pros

Extra money 17 cent a min, was able to buy groceries with the 20 or 30 bucks I make every week, weekly pay

Cons

Rude support staff, students not wanting to learn just wanting to "talk" to someone for 5 mins, glitchy system, if you not on priority hours don't expect calls you are at bottom of the list, if you don't talk a full hour you won't get your 10 dollars a hour, telling people that that it take 1 day up to 1 month or longer to know if they are hired, don't ask to many questions you account will be deactivated, if you are sickly be ready to kiss butt to not have your account deactivated.

Pros

Very flexible schedule (you create your own), can easily cancel classes without too much of a penalty (make every student that you like a "regular" student so that if you get penalized...only regulars can book you...you have a huge pool of regulars), Cambly provides lessons, you can use almost any website as long as you don't need to share login information, it's fun and easy, many students become like friends, you can learn about different countries, cultures, and languages

Cons

The pay. It has never increased in the 14 years that Cambly has been in business. They are starting to offer a new program called "Cambly Pro" where you can make $15 an hour, but you have to apply to be a tutor for it and you could be denied. You have to have a 99% rating for 3 months to even be considered. If, like me, you are open to all students (and not just your regular students that you have become friends with), your rating can vary widely. No matter how good of a tutor you are, you will not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Cambly does not allow tutors to teach in some states in the U.S. due to labor laws.
