Business Outlook

Pros

They allow you to work great jobs in the school system and generally always have work available.

Cons

As a whole, there is a lack of communication with their employees (substitutes) as well as within the management of the company. There were multiple instances where information that was important to share was not communicated. Supervisors were also not fully communicated with which resulted in frustration for their employees. My paycheck was consistently incorrect and when I would email my supervisor I wouldn't get a response until I cc'd the principal of the school in my email. Other departments of the company lack communication and competency in their job.
