Pros

You will get your relational hours and the supervision is overall very good.

Cons

Pay is terrible and you will be driving a lot without time and mileage. Things were not as promised in the recruitment phase and it is not as transparent as you might believe. Lots of no shows and cancellations and it's tricky to understand how to still get paid. It's hard to get enough hours to get benefits.

Pros

Huge library of continuing education that counts towards licensure. Easy reimbursement for cross-state licensure and background checks for new employment. They have a large network of contracts across the country. They work quickly to find you a position and make things right if a contract falls through. I was given hiring bonuses to keep me afloat financially before my contract even started because my initial contract fell through. They have the option to spread your yearly pay across the summer and school holidays.

Cons

Benefits are kinda pricey, and coverage isn't the best. The retirement plans don't match contributions at all. There is a lot of stress in keeping a contract because a school district can decide at any time to stop using contractors for their district, which makes things very stressful.
