Pros

Great people to work for. An opportunity to work with kids in a good environment

Cons

Whoever says the pay is good must live in a very different economy than I do as it is insult wages around here. I work as a Substitute teacher in a local school district and my hourly wage for a day I am called in is more than double than what I received here. Materials are dated. High turnover makes it difficult to make good connections between students and teachers and that is essential for struggling students.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
