Pros

You get to pick and choose where and when you want to work. The company keeps you informed on daily jobs and long term positions.

Cons

Even with all the training, I went into my first job feeling unprepared and overwhelmed.

Three-plus years — thank you for sticking with us and for this thoughtful feedback. We're glad the flexibility and communication have worked well for you. We hear you on that first-day feeling, and improving how we prepare educators before they walk in the door is something we're focused on. Your point about the job posting is a great one too — making sure the right people know this opportunity is available to them matters. We appreciate you taking the time. — Kelly People Experience Team

Pros

Kelly is a great place to work as a part time teacher, the website is informative and easy to use, I love that you get paid weekly and representatives are there to answer any questions you have about your job.

Cons

I would appreciate an increase in my daily pay. Especially on surge days when teachers are out, the incentive to work is greater.
