      Philadelphia is rotten - Long Term Substitute Teacher ESS Employee Review

      Pros

      None zip zilch nil nada.

      Cons

      ESS did not prepare me one bit. Not one bit. The school and class conditions in Philadelphia... You are not a superhero. This is ridiculous to expect of anyone to just jump into. Assignments are mis-labled, intentionally, such as, I signed up for a longterm assignment only to find out I would be responsible for teaching ALL subjects, to 32 kids, including Special Ed. I reached out to the current teacher and heard that she only lasted 2 months, the behavior problems were so bad. How can a regular person be expected to deal with that?

      Pros

      Somewhat easy application and easy hiring. Can choose days to work and assignments available everyday. Good to get experience in schools if no education degree yet or deciding.

      Cons

      Same day or very short notice of assignments available (depending on location). Constantly checking app for work. Minimum wage for this important job.
