Business Outlook

Pros

I really enjoy what the company offers in terms of pay, benefits, and flexibility to be a substitute teacher. I feel valued and it is easy to pick up shifts using the app without having to be called in day-of. Plus the compensation is very good.

Cons

I don't like that there is only one person managing my region. Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for this person to respond to immediate questions I have.
