Pros

I've loved my experience substitute teaching through Kelly since February 2025. Kelly's notification & Payroll system are 1st class. Kelly's email updates are not only informative but also inspirational. When I've emailed or called your responses are always timely. Your website is exceptional, continuously updated, and easy to read.

Cons

All Pros no Cons to report.

Really glad the onboarding experience was smooth and the team on site has been helpful — that's exactly what we aim for. Your feedback about night shift coverage is noted and will be shared with the team. Thanks for taking the time! — Kelly People Experience Team
