This is an amazing company that has great customer service and helps you through the whole process of substituting!! The website is user friendly and has lots of important information right at your fingertips! A++++ and wanted to give acknowledgement to my representatives that helped me thus far - Tiffany, Grace, Ashley and Nicole. Bless you and all that you do to help through the substituting process.
This outfit is a complete joke and does a huge disservice for schools that care about their staff. It s a clown show dealing with their rude staff that lacks oversights.
My experience has been very interesting from my 1 on 1 to other students that attend the Middle School. Some of the students enjoy when you talk to them about getting off their task. Hope I be able to come back to Lakeside Middle School in September. But overall I love meeting new Teachers and students.
love insight great working with them wish they pick the Trenton contract back up.
Good place to work for & get experience however, no raises/incentives for staff, and poor communication in the office.
I recently moved to a new state and took the Praxis exam once and passed and then transferred all my credentials from another state. Finally got certified and paid all the associated fees to sign up with this middleman. Not really worth the cent in my pocket to be honest. The emails from your individual agent are not helpful. They re generally unfriendly, unhelpful and a waste of time and money. My pay scale is at the 60-65k range annually because I have a couple of graduate degrees but now with Covid-19 era, I ve decided on a complete career change and am in a third graduate program at an Ivy League. Thankfully won t be returning to give this company any of my business or time. The pandemic is a great time for career transition. If you re not happy with the way teachers get treated, don t allow yourself to waste any more time with Insight W.S.
I applied for my substitute certificate through Insight over two months ago and still have not received it. They are almost impossible to contact as each of my phone calls go to voice-mail and do not answer my email questions. The whole process has been frustrating and I am still waiting to hear from them.
Enjoy working for Insight. You make it very easy to assess assignments, which I really like. If for any reason you must cancel an assignment, that is made easy as well.
During training, maybe you could speak on how to dress. Share ideas on making your own emergency packages. Encouraging substitute to walk around the room and monitor the students and assist the students, that would elevate potential discipline problems. One last comment, some students you just can't reach. When you have exhausted all resources to get those students under control and they continue with distracting behavior and you need to have them removed, the administration should not return them to the classroom.
I haven t even had the opportunity to work yet. I attended orientation. I completed my application. I drove 50 min to Cherry Hill to submit everything typed up, IN PERSON, to avoid any mishaps. I did the finger print process with a recruiter on her laptop. I paid all fees. I had 2 recruiters look over ALL paperwork before I left.
I get emails stating my application is incomplete. I get emails TWICE stating the fingerprint process was done wrong and it is now MY job to call the state and correct it. I get a notice saying my subbing application can t be typed and to please do it over and mail it in. (WHAT?)
After all was apparently resolved a month later, I m told I can sub as a para until my sub cert is done in 2-4 weeks. I finally see an opportunity to work as a para and NO information is listed other than school and day. Am I qualified for this job? Is it a 1-1? What grade? What subject? Does the child have specific needs? Will I be assisting a teacher all day or working with developmental disabilities? ANY PARENT would want a substitute to know these things before being approved to come in and work with their child. At the very least, a vague description and how much is paid would be nice.
I then called the county education office to see if they received my sub cert application. Guess what? They didn t. It was supposed to be sent to them last week. With private, notarized information enclosed and a money order I sure hope that is being tracked. The kind lady at the county office said she would call me when she got it because she approves them the DAY she receives them. (So much for 2-4 weeks. Is that how much time they give themselves to get it there and back?) Where is my money order? Where are my documents?
The county needs to know about this. Not only have I been going through this for over a month now but I have emailed regarding the last two issues with no reply. They have my name, email and number and at this point it should be on speed dial.
What gives? Why is this so hard? It s no wonder these districts are so hard up on substitutes. Meanwhile, I m just trying to save a little money while I search for a full-time job since I just graduated grad school. ...with a concentration in organizational leadership. These issues can be so frustrating.
I have worked for the Barnegat School District for a few year subbing with no issues. Recently they hire Insight Workforce to take over their substitute teacher jobs. I went to their on boarding session on September 26 gave all my paper work and transferred my finger prints.I received an email and text stating that my application was almost complete on October 1, so emailed to see what else they needed. They still have not respond to the email! I called on October 3rd since no response from the email and the person said they had everything they needed I should receive an email with a bar code and my ID badge should be mailed in a few days. I never received an email or ID badge. I called again on 10/11/19, the person who answered was very rude! After several attempts to get an answer on why I haven't received my ID badge, she told me that I was approve and had no idea why I wasn't getting my ID or emails. She told me she was going to look into it and get back to later that day. I still have not hear back from her. (10/15/19)! I have never worked for a company or school district that doesn't return emails or phone calls!!!
Follow up: Someone called but I didn't have my phone with me. I tried call back @ 4:55 pm but no one picks up. I was on hold for 5 minutes then sent of to a voicemail.
