Pros

Convenient, flexible, frequent pay, variety of schools

Cons

The pay is terrible, very cruel especially to disabled employees who require accommodations, highly punitive for having needs as an adult. The school will literally act “concerned” like they “care” then throw you under the bus and make either exaggerated or false allegations against you. Just like how they still had the police involved after an emotional moment despite my explicit refusal. They immediately canceled all of my scheduled assignments, deactivated my account then refused an investigation timeline and have me vague instructions. The incident agent was extremely rude and unprofessional as she kept cutting me off and denying my needs and challenges associated with autism. I then called her lot forcing her to listen instead of running mouth and had the audacity to use panelist language like “erratic” to describe my traits related to my diagnosis. I called that term used very disrespectful. I once trusted this company but no more. They have severely betrayed my trust.

Pros

Somewhat easy application and easy hiring. Can choose days to work and assignments available everyday. Good to get experience in schools if no education degree yet or deciding.

Cons

Same day or very short notice of assignments available (depending on location). Constantly checking app for work. Minimum wage for this important job.
