Pros

This position will actually help people to really consider working in the educational field and work in it for the long run. I took different assignments and working here helped me to fall in love with the educational field.

Cons

You will only survive if you are able to take the assignments that the school districts give to you. The school districts will re-assign you to different positions based on your availability. If you don't take their positions, you will end up gone ASAP.

Pros

Great schedule, working with special needs children feels rewarding most days. Good job to have if you’re working on your own business or in school.

Cons

Low pay, no benefits, do the same work as the teachers, sometimes more.
