Great work but very low pay

Pros

Able to work at home and extremely interesting to talk with the South Korean students. If you do a good job, they'll really respect you. You are able to tutor the same students over a long period of time, so you get to develop a very friendly working relationship with them.

Cons

The main issue I had with this job is that they are very inflexible and getting time off means you will have "points deducted" unless management approves your absence. They claim you'll make $12 an hour, but if they don't fill up your schedule for a particular hour, it's very possible (and quite frequent) you will make below minimum wage (sometimes as low as $4 an hour). Also, you only get paid 75 for typing up student progress reports, which is outrageously low. They are able to do this because you're employed as an independent contractor.

Cons

They will try to enslave you. They only pay when you're on the phone and expect you to do half the work for free. I quit the second day, should have known better.
