Pros

Very flexible schedule. Training was well done to prepare employees for the classroom.

Cons

Very poor communication throughout the company. I encountered a situation this year where I was accused of something I said that wasn't true, and the company sided with the accuser (a student) and did no further investigation. I was sent information by e-mail about the complaint and was told I could inquire further by calling . I did exactly that and the person I contacted neither responded nor attempted to respond further . It has left a bad taste in my mouth. This company will claim that sometimes a school will deem someone a bad fit, but its simply not the case. When the majority of schools that you did work for want your personal number for contact, then something doesn't add up on the company's end.

Pros

Flexible hours I was able to get a long-term job through them that lasted several months Gets you working in multiple districts/age levels so you can find where you like best

Cons

Poor pay HR is very difficult to get ahold of (I called about a pay check issue once and was the 60th person "in line" on the phone) I don't feel like a real teacher...it's more like babysitting
