      Flexible schedule and great communication, but no summer work

      Substitute teacher

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule during the week and the ability to plan based on teachers putting in PTO and putting it on the calendar. The use of the computer to select dates of employment and to put in timecard information is intuitive. Having an app to look at when not at a computer to see job opportunities is also convenient. Communication from Kelly is awesome.

      Cons

      Schools not needing substitutes during the summer break. Not knowing what number Kelly is contacting me from for short notice opportunities.

      Great assignment, but terrible benefits and support

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I don't know if this is a pro, but I got lucky in my assignment. If the assignment wasn't so good, I'd have left by now.

      Cons

      The worst PTO and benefits structure of any agency I've ever worked for. No care for employees, no follow up to see how things are going. Once you're placed, you're just a billable asset.
