Pros

You can choose what days and what classes you'll agree to substitute in.

Cons

The pay has not increased in years. They are terrible to get in touch with if you have a problem. The only way you can guarantee to get work is if you pay them $5.99 per month to get their "jobulator". They have been part of the cause of paraprofessionals now not being hired by school districts and thus losing out on decent pay and benefits. Now most schools only use Source to hire their paras now and you only get the sub per diem rate --- not the higher pay you used to get. Terrible company!!! They also try to push you to work at districts that pay less money.

Pros

Flexible hours and rotating workplaces

Cons

Corporate is lazy and underpays. They pretend they give benefits, but the benefits offered are prohibitively expensive for nigh nonexistent coverage. Hours are not gaurunteed. There are few to no restrictions on who is allowed to teach kids. During the "Interview" (there wasn't an interveiw) they just did an unpaid eight hour orientation training that they pretended was an interveiw so they could steal your fairly earned wages. I hate these guys.
