Pros

Great faculty committed to education. Everybody works hard to deliver for students

Cons

Pay is way out of sync with competitive hiring process and cost of living in SLO. Push for research is not in line with undergraduate education mission and could destroy the undergraduate focus that has made Cal Poly great.

Pros

At the ASI Children's center I learned the fundamentals of how to care and relate to children, got excellent training with head teachers (some were nicer than others), and moved my way up to other positions in the company.

Cons

Just like you do with friends, some of the head teachers you have chemistry with and others you don't. The ones you don't make the job feel more difficult. Pay was okay for me then with lower costs and inflation but now I am guessing it won't be enough for the current economic times.
