Good salary. There are many people in Baton Rouge that are very supportive of the schools. Many wonderful coworkers. Staff at my school are cohesive.

There are very few opportunities for advancement that are advertised. Many people in the upper ranks all seem to know one another as if they belong to some sort of club.
