Pros

Working with children is a blessing. The office and teaching staff are always nice and helpful. System is easy to use to pick up assignments. Teachers always leave a lesson plan to help the day go smoothly. I love the elementary age children because I enjoyed doing story time with them and seeing their reactions to the story. The training was very helpful and informative.

Cons

Sometimes your assignment can get canceled. Which can be inconvenient to you say if you have another job and you told them you were working and all of a sudden your assignment gets canceled. During the summer the it is very slow assignments are very few. As of yet I only was able to accept one summer school assignment. Say if that is your primary income that could be bad for you.
