Pros

Better some work than no work.

Cons

I am in the Bay Area, so I am only reviewing schools in Oakland, Richmond and San Francisco. The school sites I was assigned were very very dangerous. Students were wild, disrespectful and very very behind academically. They contract with charter schools that are mostly robbing the government. Many, many of these schools struggle to find permanent teachers and it is a revolving door of substitutes teachers all the time for them. Therefore, the students area apathetic and simply don't care. Those are very difficult situations to put a substitute teacher in. The pay is very low, with some sub jobs paying as low as 19.00! Very few jobs pay a fair per hour wage. If they do, you are going to a very challenging site.
