Pros

Paid Training. Good pay with flexible schedule. This is an excellent job for parents with school aged children. This is an excellent job for college students who need employment that will allow them to work around their class schedule. This is an excellent job for retirees who want to work but not work full time. If you are eligible you can collect unemployment (NYS) during school breaks.

Cons

There are no medical benefits provided by the employer, you can purchase them through the employer, but they are expensive. There are no paid sick days, personal time, or vacation days outside of the school calendar.
