Kelly Educational Staffing Employer Reviews

Review the assignments that were left by the teachers. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting the students interested in the lessons and getting students that were often diffuclt to control, to fiocus on the task at hand in order to complete the assignment.

-Very flexible company in which I substitute based on my own availability.
-Great part-time position.

For the most part, I learn something new from the students that I never knew before everyday. Such as issues at home or just them needed a mentor to talk to! I am very hard working and a team player! I have no problem with management, I follow all polices and procedures. I enjoy seeing my students happy and moving on to the next grade levels.

A great place to work with flexible and yet challenging environment.

This has been a great opportunity I sent my resume to Kelly services and no longer that 15 mins later they called me back and told me to come to orientation.. the school system here in Desoto county ms is great .. and the kids are not bad at all .. might have to do with the fact that I'm 6'4 275 tho... But I enjoy working in this county I'm new to the – more... subbing game but I already have multiple teachers requesting me for their class  – less

It was a good job. Management was poor. No benefits at the job. No room for advancement.

The best place for work / life balance! I have nothing negative to say about working here!

A typical day is checking in at the main office, and getting lesson plans for the day. I go to the assigned class and monitor students as they complete work. I enjoy learning about my students and their plans for the future.

A typical day at work begins with reviewing lesson plans. Instructing required curriculum, proctoring tests, and disciplining students. Everyday is a learning experience when dealing with students. I have mastered time management because we have a limited time before the bell rings to cover the outline lessons. All of the teachers and principal are – more... supportive and helpful. The hardest part of the job is trying to ensure every student is successful. Most enjoyable is knowing students are learning and getting the help needed. – less

High school is a challenging age level that requires constant thought and consideration on my part. I enjoyed teaching chemistry, biology, algebra and allied health science courses on a regular basis. Long term assignments were preferred so that I had a chance to get to know students and become a useful member of the substitute teaching pool for other – more... teachers as I got to know them. – less

As a substitute you have to be able to handle all kinds of tasks. I've accrued several skills working at schools such as learning to use a laminator, and How to manage large groups of children. Kelly (is what we call Kelly educational staffing) really helps out whenever you need something.

During the hiring process KES talks up a big game about having your back and what not when there is an issue with a school. They in no way do. All they seem to care about is there reputation with schools and making money, even if that means firing subs for no reason. I got a complaint from a school that I have been working at for a while, great relations – more... with the staff and students- loved it there. Out of the blue they tell Kelly they no longer want me as a Sub because I'm not "friendly". Kelly did not even have the decency to press them for legitimate reasoning, all they said was we have to honor their wishes. What about having our backs? How are you going to give your employees a three strike rule without even letting them know what they did wrong? They are an education staffing firm aren't they? Well maybe they should do there job and EDUCATE us when there is an issue so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.

All in all, awful staffing firm. There seems to be no care for the employees. No wonder why the Honolulu KES has been having difficulties keep subs. They threaten to fire them, and give strikes for no legitimate reasons. The pay is poor, they take a huge cut from what the school pays. You're better off being a self employed sub at a public school. No big bad wolf to threaten you there, much better pay and communication. – less

A typical day back then was to get a call to accept or decline a job. I would accept then drive from Erin, TN to Clarksville to the appointed school for the appointed time. I typically followed lesson plans, followed their schedule, and maintained an organized, positive classromm environment to maximize the learning opportunities for the students. Then, – more... I drove home. – less

As a Substitute Teacher, I enjoy working in the educational field. I am requested to substitute at a myriad of charter schools within the Kelly consortium. I've had no problems or issues with management or administrators/staff at schools I've substituted at. I make it a point to enlighten not just the students I substitute, but the teachers I work next – more... to. I ensure the teachers I work next know that I am more than capable of handling any issues that may present themselves with any student/parent (if necessary). – less

It is nice to be able to pick the days you want to work but the pay is not great. It amounts to slightly more than minimum wage. It is fine for someone who is a full time student like myself, but I would not suggest anyone to try to make a living on this salary.

Kelly Services is a great place to introduce any individual that has ever considered working in Education. What I enjoy personally are the many opportunities to learn and grow as a professional.

A great company to get your feet wet in the teaching field. You are getting hands on expereince in the classroom. The skills needed for conflict resolution and problem solving are always being tested. Many teachers are there to help and step in when needed.

Love this job. Each day is a new experience. New school, new kids, new positives and negatives to figure out in a short amount of time. I have learned how to get along with all types of personalities and what it takes to be invited back. The hardest part of the job is trying to help kids realize that they really want to learn and to give them confidence – more... when they have little or none. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing those kids succeed! – less

This is a flexible opportunity if you are looking to work with children in the education field. Some schools present some difficult challenges and others are a pleasure. You are independent of an everyday obligation and scheduling works with your life demands.

The company hires you and you work during the school season, often there is no work during the summer, I left becuase the office in Livonia Michigan closedl
