Pros

Flexible work schedule during the week and the ability to plan based on teachers putting in PTO and putting it on the calendar. The use of the computer to select dates of employment and to put in timecard information is intuitive. Having an app to look at when not at a computer to see job opportunities is also convenient. Communication from Kelly is awesome.

Cons

Schools not needing substitutes during the summer break. Not knowing what number Kelly is contacting me from for short notice opportunities.
