He's gotten me placements and opporutinites I've wanted. EdTheory also has a great HR and team overall. I've been to a couple of events, and everyone is so friendly and fun.

- Great Experience EdTheory is an experienced contracting agency specializing in special education in the school setting. I have worked the majority of my career with the EdTheory team and have very positive things to say for them.

- Happy School Psychologist Pros:>great, competitive pay >great benefits >amazing leadership and supports >full trust and transparency seems to be part of their work culture > amazing communication > frequent check ins > quick replies to emails, texts or calls Cons:> my only concerns with EdTheory are 1.the retirement for their contracted employees are offered after 2nd year of employment 2. mental health days are not offered, days off are solely earned, whereas districts tend to offer 10 days per school year. This makes working with a district more appealing. Advice to Management:The teamwork that EdTheory puts forth is working very well. My advice for EdTheory moving forward is to consider offering retirement earlier and possibly work in offering even a few days off a school year.School Psychologist in Fullerton, CA 11/22/2022
- Good communication in a timely manner Interviewing and getting an offer at Edtheory is easy. They will provide interview opportunities with school districts and help you get a job offer.

- Flexible schedule, no benefits, low pay Great job for a new grad and if you're interested in working in a school environment. Flexible job to have while currently in school for advancement opportunities. Unfortunately, there is no growth staying here with limited experience to gain. Huge turn over in recruiters.Liscensed Practical Nurse 11/16/2022
- Contract Work I like the company. They are fair and easy to work with. Connect you to work in the community you like with good pay. Started as a temp contract was offered full time position with same pay or option to take another position.School Counselor 10/18/2022
- Flexible schedule, great pay, great for new grads Pros:This agency is very accommodating with your schedule and flexible. Perfect for new grads, great starting pay, and able to continue education while working with EdTheory. Cons:No benefits or insurance for part time employees, commute during breaks, sometimes lack communicationLVN 9/03/2022
- Flexible and very accommodating schedule, work/school balance I am a new grad and I've been with EdTheory for almost half a year now and it's been great. I've been able to manage balancing school, work, and life working with them. I don't receive benefits/insurance because I work part time which is one of my cons to working here, but I do get a higher rate per hour because I don't get benefits which is fair and a pro to working here. If you work full time you can receive benefits and insurance but with a lower rate per hour. The management is very kind, communicative, and helpful. My breaks are short and I need to commute to other sites during my break so it's not really considered a lunch break in my opinion. Overall, I enjoy working here and working with the kids. Pros flexible schedule, work/school balance Cons short breaks, no benefits for part timersLicensed Vocational Nurse 8/29/2022
- Good People to Work With Pros:The people I dealt with within the company were fabulous. In the beginning of an assignment they make sure you are supported. Cons:Like any contract company, they can't insure that your assignment will continue into the next year.Remote Speech Pathologist in San Jose, CA 8/06/2022
- Not just a number! Smaller company that actually cares about you and goes above and beyond to help with issues. Best company that I’ve done contract work for! Always get help in a timely manner. Good compensation compared with other remote positions. Will continue to work with EdTheory and no one else. Pros helpful, compensation Cons noneSLP 6/27/2022
- Plentiful Opportunities I think that there is a lot to be said but also not enough. Communication is good but could be a little more straightforward and clear instead of hurrying through phone calls when an employee has questions. The pay range is fair, medical benefits could be slightly better, and the HR is quick in replying to emails. Pros Quick HR answers Cons Unclear information or quick phone check insBCBA 6/24/2022
