Pros
Flexible Professional development- you an take any course within the colleges for free or low cost ( if it relates to your job) Health Benefits paid 100% Off during Spring Break and Winter Holiday Community Focused Some genuine people who love what they do Various campuses
Cons
On the Teacher Retirement System ( not Social Security) which is you do not plan to work in education for a long time, select the mutual funds options instead. Not all facilities are attractive. Some in shady areas. Limited room for professional growth, unless you love to play the political game often found in government institutions like this. Salaries are low for valuable positions. No ability to negotiate salary since most entry level opportunities are on some kind of chart pay scale.
