      Pros

      Good employment if you’re looking for flexible hours. Guaranteed pay if 5 hours a day no matter if your route is only 3 hours long.

      Cons

      It’s a split shift and most routes are no more than 5 hours long. If you’re looking for a full time 8 day job this isn’t it. Additionally, there’s no pay during teacher planning days, winter and spring breaks, and summer vacation you claim unemployment. The benefits offered here are only discount programs..not actual benefits so you’re stuck paying $400/mo for benefits that pay minimal amounts towards doctor bills.
