Pros

You get to work in a really great city, some schools offer novice teachers REACH mentors.

Cons

The "leveling" process is brutal for everyone, especially the students. It was impossible to be a good parent AND a good teacher at this district. The demands of the job are just too great.

Decent pay and good PTO.
