Pros

High pay for early career teachers.

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance. The administration is oppressive to both teachers and kids. Any feedback you give can and will likely be used against you. This is the type of place you want to do what you are told and withhold any creativity. Abiding by the rules and playing along with the toxic positivity culture is the only way to survive.
