Willsub

This is a very flexible job and great to fill in a schedule that currently has some holes (personally) at the moment. As a full time position, supporting a family, I would cringe, since I do not  see this as a living wage. I do think for people who are retired, and looking for something to do, that love children, or who have taught in the recent past, and have other income sure... go for it.  Perhaps even  young people, 
 who are wondering if they would like to become a teacher could see this as a great opportunity. 

ESS has taken the guess work out of finding someone to fill in as a teacher. It is the problem solver that the school system so desperately needed. A wonderful way to pool together the biggest problem we are facing (especially here in Florida)  and get the willing folks in the door to be productive, instead of playing a video all day long and having children learn absolutely nothing while a teacher is absent. ESS has a good (not the best) product, and it can always be tweaked to truly prepare the employees. 
 
I will say this, teachers, you are the toughest people out there, and deserve $100K a year plus 3 weeks vacation in Hawaii. I don't know how (or why) you do it. I have the utmost respect for you, and whenever I go into a room, I stick to the program, get the assignments done, and leave a progress report. 
**And for anyone who is going in to do this job, be kind. Bring in some donuts or muffins for the teachers in your pod (not front office but the teachers you will be working with directly). I have made this a habit and I think it makes them feel appreciated. The stuff  they put up with from parents in todays world is very different than 5, 10,15+ years ago. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
ESS/Willsub is an awesome company! They are professional, knowledgable, and courteous. If you are looking for a part-time job with a support system, ESS is the company for you!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s challenging to work with different people at different schools.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environments/cultures  are different everyday (depending on the location of the school, the grade levels in that school, and the staff of that school). 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
First, you select the job that you are interested in.  Then, you arrive at the school and sign-in, go to the teacher’s room, read the lesson plans, pick up the students, and start the day according to the schedule.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working for WillSub is you can pick up shifts around your schedule. In some cases you can gain a permanent sub position when teachers unexpectedly need sick leave for long periods. The pay for is 150.00 per day if you become a long term sub pay is 200.00 a day. The only down size is I had no medical benefits through the company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I enjoyed working with the kids and watching their progress throughout the year. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This can become different at each site you work at depends on what school district you choose

You get to pick the schools you want to work in and what role you would like to fill in those schools. Anything from custodial to teaching, you get to pick. The pay, at least in my area, is adequate at $19.80/hr. Shifts can run anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours, but again you get to pick whether or not you want to work it. Every school operates differently so I can't really speak to management as it changes. It's also a W2 position rather than 1099 so no worrying about taxes at the end of the year. A great job to fill available time for some extra cash, and you may even get to see your child if applicable.

Working for willsub has been a positive experience for me! Being able to take time off and make my own schedule has been such a privilege. Being able to choose the schools & teachers that I work for is also a rewarding experience- building those relationships and feeling like you’re part of an educational community is so important. I recommend will sub to everyone looking for a job these days! 

Only thing is that you have to cancel your assignments 24 hours before the start of the time you’re signed up for or your account will face a penalty- 10+ of these and you will be suspended as a substitute. Keep this in mind, it sounds obvious but online sources will say 1 hour in advance, or 12 hours, and this is not the case. 

I took on a subbing role when my main position was temporary closed due to COVID. I found the job overall to be flexible and rewarding in that I knew they needed a lot of help. I tried to be more than a "warm body" (ie just someone in the chair so that class could continue) but unless you work more than a few days in a row in the same place it can be hard to get to know people/your way around the place. Overall staff was accommodating and kind. The website could be annoying in that things didn't always work perfectly, and there are several trainings that are required that could be made more interesting but they were making improvements when needed. Overall a good experience. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I find it perfect for supplemental income or for military spouses.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I don't find it stressful, only just figuring our any new sub jobs. Once you get used to it then it is not bad at all. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You receive a text message to alert you that a job has come open, you can pick and choose which ones you would like to sub for.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fill in for the teacher, usually they will leave you a sub folder with instructions for the day.

Willsub allows me to work at various schools and meet new people. I am not pressured to in a certain area; I chose my areas to be in. It's a good way to get a variety of jobs and find your fit. I get alone well with each management(Principal) or overseer of the substitute teachers. The hardest part is strictly relying on the computer to find jobs or waiting till last minute to get a job for the day. I enjoy working with various facility and students. It has taught me a lot about myself and what I need to do for me.

If your looking for a part time job to make extra cash and make memories that will last a lifetime Willsub is a great place to start. My first day I was placed in a special needs classroom and to say I was nervous would be an understatement, however from the moment I walked into the school I felt as if I was part of a big family. I absolutely loved working for this company. Sadly I needed to make more money and had to find full time employment but I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for the experience.

Professional company who are always present to help if needed !
