Pros

Flexibility to accept or reject jobs.

Cons

Pay is average or worse. You waste time on all the paperwork they don't want to do.

Swing Education Response

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry you're not happy with being set up as a W-2 employee in California. Swing is required by law to hire all California substitute teachers as employees, so there is more paperwork in terms of applications and tax forms. However, you would be eligible for sick pay, unemployment insurance and other benefits. -Michele at Swing Education

Pros

Swing Education is a fantastic place to work. Smart, hardworking people working to bring more teachers into the classroom where there wouldn't otherwise be. The culture in also phenomenal; work-life balance is a real thing; prioritizing diversity in our hiring process is a real thing; being open, honest, collaborative, vulnerable, and bringing your full self to work is highly valued. Employees are valued; we are recognized for our contributions and encouraged to be creative to head new projects or initiatives . The founders are amazing; smart, ethical, good people with their priorities in line. Really amazing place to work. Feel so lucky to be here.

Cons

Not much! I with their were more, esp, more healthy, snack options (we have a lot of snack, though, so who can complain?) and that the temperature was more . consistent throughout the office. Pretty great complaints as far as complaints go!
