Pros

The company works incredibly well with their substitutes. I always had a ton of help every day if I needed from those at the S4T office in my area. The substituting experience depends on the school and classroom. You'll learn which grades, schools, teachers, and subjects you like and dislike. You'll get to know the staff and teachers at the schools you frequent.

Cons

The students can be a handful. It is sometimes hard on certain days depending on the students. The more you know about schools and classes the better you'll be able to avoid a bad day.

Pros

To be candid none that I can think of but as I need at least 20 words I had to be verbose.

Cons

1. Bad reputation at schools. Not all of it fair. 2. Pay is horrific for responsibility. 3. Can't always be relied on to keep its promises. My schools love me but I have to tell you I've met other substitutes who do not put kids as their #1 priority but rather finding a way to equality for new unemployment insurance.
