Regular pay. Faculty and staff at the schools where I subbed were very supportive.

Low pay, quirky sign in and sign out system, poor communication, no job security (you're fired for anything)

Pros

This is a great place to work if you need something flexible and part time. It's also different every day and week and great if you like being in the classroom.

Cons

I didn't feel like the training was enough and learned a lot as I went along and took a lot from previous teaching experience. I also felt like the pay was pretty low.
