Pros

I loved getting paid weekly for the hard work I was doing.

Cons

It was in my experience that ESS doesn't have schools give you a contact for long-term substitute positions. If the school decides they would like to put a different sub in your long-term position and let you go months before the time you agreed to work as a long-term sub is up, there is no contact to present to them that they have to honor. (This happened to me as a long-term sub when the principal of the school I was working at let me go from my long-term PE sub position with a week's notice. He wanted a man for the position to watch the lockerrooms, but just told me I wasn't the right fit for the job. Without a contract I had no way to protect me from going to consistent pay to being able to work one day per week because it is so competitive to pick up shifts in the district I worked in. Because there was no contract and I worked for ESS and not the school district I wasn't able to file for unemployment. I just had to struggle with the unexpected change in pay from being a long-term sub to being a day-to-day sub.)
