Pros

It's better than no job at all.

Cons

Sadly, they take almost half of what you would make as a substitute teacher in a district; you get no pay if you're out sick or for holidays or Summer vacations; CERTIFIED, experienced teachers get paid SAME money as subs that have NO experience or Cert.

Pros

I like Source4Teachers because the district manager I deal with is helpful and accommodating. They make dealing with my sometimes complicated schedule easier when I work with the schools. I also enjoy the option of picking the school I want to work with. The job portal only shows jobs from the school district I listed. Management is also helpful when they know what school district I enjoy working with, they will let me know when there are jobs available in that district.

Cons

The only cons I have which is no fault of S4T is the jobs from the "good schools" get snatched up fast. So checking the site regularly helps. AND...NJ needs to pay more.

Pros

Their online system is very easy to use. It has a clean look that makes signing up for substitute positions a breeze! They are also great at e-mailing you about potential long-term sub opportunities.

Cons

The process of being hired could have been a little more streamlined.
