      Pros

      - consistent weekly pay - app is straightforward to navigate - gain experience with substitute teaching

      Cons

      - they never match you to the age group you intend to teach; they assigned me K-3 more often than anything when I signed on to teach high school. - the quality of the schools they partner with is abysmal. It’s rough and often very dirty at the bottom.

      Supportive consultants and learning opportunities but competitive placements

      Long-term substitute teacher

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - great for those who want to become a teacher - consultants are wonderful and assist you with finding a placement close to you and also getting you admitted to your credentialing school and program - learned a lot in monthly pd days

      Cons

      - can't say no to any placement they give you - don't pay for half days. have to take all or nothing - some other fellows just don't want to be there or even become a teacher so making friends is hard - also super competitive if another fellow is in your area. competing for positions in the same district
