Just okay

Substitute teacher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule, ability to turn down work without losing your job

Cons

Not steady income, outsource their payroll so if you ever need to talk to someone, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 calls to get to the right person. Not much training provided. If you don't already have a teaching background, you're completely unprepared for the classroom environment. Very little communication with employees
