Pros

It was a great learning experience. Being a teacher is very rewarding and you learn a lot about the community you serve. Vacation time for a teacher is like our "bonus". My colleagues were very nice.

Cons

The school I was at was in a very tough neighborhood and trying to get most parents more involved was a challenge. Teaching pay is also very low and should be higher. There are also no health benefits and can get very expensive for an individual plan

Pros

They have such a great group of people to work with. As a sub for the last 4+ years I've found them to be the best group I've ever worked with. From HR to the office team at all the schools. I gotta love them.

Cons

Low pay on the sub scale within Alameda County.
