Helpful for getting foot in the door, but not great long-term - Substitute Teacher Swing Education Employee Review

- Very impersonal management, which is troublesome when you’ve had an issue with a school - Hourly pay, so if a school misreports the hours of an assignment & the assignment ends earlier than they said it would, you’re paid much less than what was originally advertised; this has happened to me far too many times - Schools pay Swing subs FAR less than District subs; in some cases, it’s $100 less per assignment than what district subs are receiving - Very limited job availability, especially for high school assignments, as district subs are more likely to take these jobs, so all you’re left with are mostly middle school and SPED assignments - No real job training, so you’re kind of just thrown into the fire - Schools only post the jobs that no other subs want on Swing, so you get stuck with very difficult jobs (again with no training) for less pay than district subs are getting - Swing mostly partners with charter schools, so there is very little consistency on job expectations, your role as a sub, classroom set-up, tech availability, etc from job to job - Pay varies greatly, so it’s hard to know what your average monthly pay will be, which makes it very hard to apply for things like housing or welfare - Details about job assignments are extremely vague, so you have little idea what you’re getting yourself into when accepting an assignment
