      Great experience but low pay

      Pros

      Ess is well run IMO, but mostly just a technicality. The school district and principal are the main ones with whom I work for and interact with, and ESS is just a point of contact for employment questions and pay.

      Cons

      They don't offer good health benefits and the pay is low, especially when figuring in that you don't get paid in the summer.

      Great flexibility, no real benefits

      Pros

      You can choose which district(s) you want to be a substitute in, and you can pick the days and assignments you want. 4 day a month minimum to remain employed. Can be a slow start at the beginning of the school year (think strictly meeting the minimum) and slow the last month of school. Middle of the year you get plenty of chances to pick up days!

      Cons

      You are not an employee of the district you sub in, so that means snow days and holidays you don't get paid. Sometimes the assignment you pick up gets cancelled which also means no pay.
