Pros

I needed classroom experience to get full-time certification, and ESS got me into the classroom quickly. I was able to teach a variety of classes and to choose my own assignments, so very flexible. Also, better pay than most hourly jobs.

Cons

They didn't give a whole lot of training on classroom management or what exactly a substitute is empowered to do. So, it sometimes felt like I was helpless to deal with misbehaving kids. All I could do is leave a note for the full-time teacher.
