Vantaggi

Flexible schedules Work/life balance Great team-VP's & colleagues Students are a lot of fun

Svantaggi

NO summer income or ability to plan for Fall classes. Summer school courses are rare. Fall classes don't show up in the system until closer to August. Last year I picked up all of my classes the day before they started. Starting teacher salary for "Full-time" teachers is roughly 5k less than the national average, and closer to 18k less than if you were to work in a brick and mortar school in HISD. Classes are first come first serve. There is no guarantee that you can pick up enough classes to survive the year, let alone save for summer months. Unless you are certified in multiple subject areas, you will probably struggle. Benefits are too expensive if you are considered part-time. Remote, full-time, salaried corporate opportunities no longer exist.

Vantaggi

Good hourly pay ($40/hr but little hours so keep that in mind)

Svantaggi

Bad communication during onboarding process. Got hired initially for the fall then got told the district paused their contract and they wouldn't be starting anytime soon. Later got confirmation we would start for the Spring semester. It wasn't after I sent multiple emails about my concern about not haring any solid information about a starting day that they informed me I would be able to begin late February. Apparently due to not many positions being open. Our contract was for until towards the end of the school year but then got notified that our site intended to end our services late April a week in advance of our last day.
