Pros

You have off in the summer and are eligible for unemployment since you work for a contractor not a school district. Extra work available most of the time.

Cons

Location managers need to learn how to manage. It seems like our manager changes ways of doing things depending on the day. There is a lot of favortism and gives out extra work to some but not others.
