Weak benefits package Not really enough money to live off of as the only source of income

1. Very LOW Pay 2. Bad Insurance plans offered 3. Because you are considered a "contracted" employee you get no holiday and no sick pay and until the 2019-2020 school year no PTO either. Now we get 5 PTO days per school year. And of course on their company website you are not included in the count of "31 total employees" 4. If you have to quarantine due to Covid and stay home, you get no pay whatsoever. 5. Required to do a bunch of mindless "Trainings", yet no one can tell you that you should or "how to" apply for Unemployment during the Summer weeks or during Christmas break. 6. They tout themselves as paying $15/hour or "$110 per diem"(per day), but if you factor all the school holidays and all the summer days you do not work it actually breaks down to more like 9.50/hour. 7. They DO NOT KNOW what the environment is like at schools you may be working at, hence why all employees at my rank are paid the same even though those that work in harder environments. 8. As of 2020-2021 school year there has been no raise in Pay despite everyone being on Unemployment and the company not having to pay anyone since April 2 until September. 9. In order to get hired you have to pay for all of your background checks, security clearances, etc out of your own pocket before you can even begin to work. 10. Every year they change payroll providers just to save on taxes. And when you are getting hired they have you a sign a bunch of forms that explicitly state you are helping them save on taxes by signing them and you cannot be hired until you do. So they are tax cheats as well. Forcing people to help them not pay taxes cause God knows Millionaires & Billionaires are always hurting. But Fudge if they make me sign a form to help me or my coworkers save on taxes. 11. Honestly I am losing money and Sanity EVERY DAY I AM WITH THIS ORGANIZATION.
