Pros
I was able to negotiate my hourly rate.
Cons
When they hired me one way to sell me on accepting the job was to emphasize that if the district that I was contracted through liked me, I might get a permanent position with that district. Instead of being contracted through Soliant year to year. So when it came down to me actually getting hired by the district Soliant jumps in and says no. We have a non compete clause and of course I had no idea. So they tell the district who really wanted me that they must pay tens of thousands to release my out of my contract for the following school year! I'm not sure how much it was that they had to pay. But it was a hefty penny. Thankfully the school district agreed and I got the position and I love my new home.
