      Pros

      Work/life balance is great here. They care about you here. Ample time off each year. Benefits are decent and even better if you have a family.

      Cons

      Underpaid is an understatement. And there is not such thing as getting a raise. No where to move up in the organization. Line are not clear. Systems are low end, and no where near cutting edge. Everything is political and makes for slow moving progress.

      Pros

      They give a lot of time off. Free week of vacation between Christmas and New Years.

      Cons

      Everyone gets a the same pay raise, generally 3%. Do a good job, 3%. Do a bad job, 3%. Your performance has no effect on pay raises.

      Pros

      Very family oriented. Two weeks paid vacation, two weeks employee and dependent sick leave, 15 hours of extenuating circumstance leave, bereavement leave. All the major holidays off: MKL, Good Friday, Spring Break day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving and the Friday after. The week off between Christmas and New Years. 1.5 hours of wellness program weekly. One hour lunch time + two 15 min. breaks daily. 37.5 hour work week. Dependents attend any of the colleges in the district, tuition waived. Extra service contracts are possible - with supervisor approval. Extra service contracts pay beyond the regular salary. Job security, low turnover rate. Long professional relationships, ability to move to other locations within the district and not lose benefits or retirement options.

      Cons

      Stifled creativity, the old way of doing things too slow to respond to the ever-changing field of educational technologies. Too many battles trying to get innovation off the ground, that energy could be better utilized on the development of said innovation. Micromanagement by antiquated ideas, limited thinking and limited vision supervisors. Underfunded development budgets. Inflexible pay grade structure for those individuals that have an above-and-beyond work ethic. Bureaucratic red tape procedures for everything. Academic credentials valued over, on-the-job skill sets. A Ph.D. doesn't necessarily equate to the best qualification for creative, innovative, meaningful leadership. The faculty have too much say over other departments, too many entitlement attitudes.
