Fair pay, subpar benefits

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to negotiate salary and be reimbursed more than district hired employees. Especially if you look up what the company is being paid hourly for your services from the district (it’s all public information.) You can also be moved very easily if you don’t like the placement you get assigned.

Cons

The healthcare has gotten much worse in the past couple of years. Very expensive and covers very little. 401k WITHOUT company matching. Very difficult to get adequate PTO. Will attempt to convince you that PTO is only possible with significant cuts to hourly rates.
