Pros

The company is aggressive and will compete hard to gain share and genuinely cares about its customers. Previously had innovative products. Largest player in remote start security category.

Cons

Quickly shrinking market . Lots of executive turn over. Engineering project development time lines never met. Product development underfunded. Ownership priority is to flip the business every few years which has undermined longer term plan implementation decisions required to fix the business. Unrealistic sales targets due to inability to accept competitive landscape. 1-2 years behind competition in new product development. Not thinking globally regarding markets.

Pros

they have a website where you can select schools and schedule yourself. I loved the control I had to plan where I was working and when.

Cons

the pay was lower than other substitute teaching organizations. it was pretty hard during the pandemic when I was working full-time but during the holidays, I didn't get pay--which was especially hard because holidays tend to be more expensive.
