Pros

Summers and other holiday breaks you are off work, and get to file unemployment during those times. Due to the fact that you are considered laid off because first student is a contracted out company, and bot a part of the school district.

Cons

Management is awful to there employees. Its like high school all over again. Ridiculous.
