Disappointing!

Pros

Flexibility...good for retirees who don't really need the money and want to stay active. Good supplement for someone who has another job.

Cons

Horrible customer service! You can rarely get anyone on the phone without waiting a very long time. You also rarely get responses to your emails. They do not have a selective hiring process, which seems to give the impression at the schools that we all are somewhat incompetent, the pay is terrible and they usually don't pay teachers who are certified any more than they pay subs with two year degrees. They make promises to school districts that they cannot fulfill and many classes do not have coverage as a result.

Pros

You choose grade, subject, day and school from job board. Work selection from pre-k to 12th grade. Supporting the teachers in their absence and educating the children is valuable.

Cons

Low pay and not guaranteed hours. The job feels like day labor, contractor work. Some classes can have behavior issues with students.

Good platform

Pros

You get to pick your schedule, the flexibility and ability to work all over the state instead of just one district is great

Cons

Subbing itself just doesn't pay well (usually) but they do a good job with what they have
