Pros

Flexibility. They have an online system that allows you to customize the types of jobs that you will see and can select. They work with a lot of the school districts in my area, so there were always a lot of jobs to choose from in the area.

Cons

It was a difficult process to get started with the company. Lots of paperwork, and the paperwork often times got lost or misplaced. Once you get going though, it was not necessary to interact with anyone again.

Pros

You can choose what days and what classes you'll agree to substitute in.

Cons

The pay has not increased in years. They are terrible to get in touch with if you have a problem. The only way you can guarantee to get work is if you pay them $5.99 per month to get their "jobulator". They have been part of the cause of paraprofessionals now not being hired by school districts and thus losing out on decent pay and benefits. Now most schools only use Source to hire their paras now and you only get the sub per diem rate --- not the higher pay you used to get. Terrible company!!! They also try to push you to work at districts that pay less money.
