Pros

Flexible schedule, great way to meet wonderful people in the school system.

Cons

Poor management, recruiting strategies are antiquated. They expect you to be standing in the street passing out flyers. Management doesn't know how to lead a team. Pay is low for the amount of work they expect, and long working hours.

Pros

My recruiter was friendly and the same with her colleagues. I love the variety of open positions (short-term, long-term or just for the day). It is very flexible.

Cons

Low wages. One of their competitors in NJ pay more for the same type of job. However, you have to be willing to go to more challenging neighborhoods for the better pay.

Pros

Flexible, you work when you want.

Cons

The pay is not all that great, considering you are watching 20+ kids at a time for 8 hours a day. However, if you can understand that they are kids and require guidance and PATIENCE, this is an easy job. Tiring, but easy.
