Great job for students!! - Daycare Substitute Teacher Upkid Employee Review

Flexibility, pick your own days to work

I just started working so I’m still learning about the company

No experience necessary, you just have to pass the background check

They lie about what they will reimburse for. You have to pay about $75 up front for all the background check and fingerprinting. They claim it’s all reimbursable in their documentation, but when you send in the receipts they tell you “we actually don’t reimburse for fingerprinting” even though it clearly says they do. Plus it takes at least 2-3 weeks for all that to “clear”. It’s also nearly impossible to get shifts. There are only a few a day, if that, and when you’re new and have no rating yet no one will hire you. The best part is, the 50 bucks that is technically reimbursable can ONLY be reimbursed after you’ve worked a shift! What a fun catch 22 to be stuck in. Oh and most shifts pay 15 an hour, not the 19-21 that is advertised.
