Pros

Flexibility. Many times I spoke with a Kokua representative to help me find a school for the day.

Cons

Pay is low. Mostly worked 3 days out of 5 due to unavailable assignments. I heavily relied on other substitute agencies. Sent to significantly far locations that were 1 to 2 hours away from my home. Most of the charter schools that partner with this company..consist of various kids with behavior issues. Also, many classrooms need more than one educator due to students with disabilities. Many of the schools lack structure. Disorganized company.

Pros

Flexible scheduling and the ability to be on call for a specific area if needed. Supportive administration. Easy to reach who you need for questions and in case of a need to cancel a shift.

Cons

Sometimes there is a lapse in work but that is not Kokua's fault. Sometimes there is a lot of work but it is too far to drive depending on where you live.
