Pros

This job gives me the freedom to work as per my choice. I have the flexibility to work or relax as per my plans.

Cons

This job has no growth or recognition. Pay is less in comparison to the efforts. Sometimes the job is canceled after we reach the school and we don’t get the payment even though when we are not at fault.

Communication and Support Lacking

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.
