Pros

the schedule really is flexible. It has been easy to go to school and work

Cons

if you don't pick up an assignment immediately, it will be gone. Sometimes the app used is delayed and 3rd party apps make it easier and faster to grab the assignment. If you're not quick, you will have difficulty finding positions available.

Thank your for the review—and for working with us for so many years! Like you, many of our substitute teachers enjoy the flexibility of the work. It's true, assignments pop up all the time some in the future and others for the next day.
