Horrible leadership that only cares about turning a profit

Recruiter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great concept if being lead by a leadership team that was forward thinking!

Cons

CEO is socially awkward and the President of the organization has a God complex and depending on the day of the week or which way the wind is blowing your guess is as good as anyone's as to how you might be treated on a given day. Benefits are non-existent, leadership is void. The COO is a former administrator that couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag. As a substitute teacher it;s actually not a bad gig, but I wouldn't work for this company internally. Your stop should be short and sweet!

Great company to work for

Substitute teacher

Business Outlook

Pros

The staff is super friendly. They value you as a person and an employee. They truly want you to have a positive work experience. If i ever had an issue I felt more than comfortable going to someone knowing that it would be resolved. They also keep you on file for as long as you want. I took an 8 month break from subbing and the day I wanted to go back to work all I needed to was log onto the computer.

Cons

Not many to speak of. The only con is the available work isn't consistent, but that really isn't the company's fault. It all depends on the area you work in and what schools you are available for.

Pros

This is a great way to build up your experience in education and get a good feel of the world of education and if it is for you. The people you work for are really nice and help you along the way if you have any issues.

Cons

The compensation is awful. You do not make enough to live off of. you will have to take on a second job if you don't want to live on welfare.
