Pros

Although the position, compensation, hours and opportunities were different from what I had been offered to take the position, it was a paycheck.

Cons

The position, compensation, hours, status, etc., I had been offered to take the position were changed before I gave notice to my previous employer, and not communicated to me until my first day with Kelly. There is no work-life balance. The organization is top-heavy with people and groups identifying new ways to make its employees' work easier, however the affected employees are never consulted. The end result is counter to the desired outcome, creating numerous, time-consuming workarounds and stop-gap measures. Support teams designed to consolidate and lighten job functions end up creating more bureaucratic red tape than previously existed. Thoughts and suggestions are requested by management, and (although voiced by employees) they are never "heard" before being quickly subdued by talking points and self-congratulatory or self-promoting banter about how great everything is.

Pros

Flexible work schedule during the week and the ability to plan based on teachers putting in PTO and putting it on the calendar. The use of the computer to select dates of employment and to put in timecard information is intuitive. Having an app to look at when not at a computer to see job opportunities is also convenient. Communication from Kelly is awesome.

Cons

Schools not needing substitutes during the summer break. Not knowing what number Kelly is contacting me from for short notice opportunities.

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
