      Pros

      No pros, there is mostly cons working here.

      Cons

      Poor company management, lack of communication, poor daily payment, does not meet the market wage and spending scales, over worked, no facilities, no bonuses, no professional development, inconvenience in picking job assignments, sometimes takes hours to find assignments. In short, would not recommend anyone working here.

      Unorganized Experience

      Substitute teacher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can choose the days and schools you want to substitute at, and you're supposed to be able to choose the class you substitute for but often times you show up to the school and they put you somewhere else. Weekly pay is also a pro.

      Cons

      Dealing with this generation of kids can be difficult, not being able to substitute for classes you chose to sub for, sometimes the teacher assigns work in google classroom so you're just sitting there babysitting basically, which can be boring.

      Pros

      The substitute teacher support team has treated me well over the years and responds promptly.

      Cons

      It's a big company and therefore quite impersonal
