Pros

There is so much to learn and to contribute. It is a huge mess that needs to be fixed.

Cons

DCPS Senior management does not listen to middle management or the regular employee. They are hardly out at schools and sit in "ivory tower." Departments are silo-ed so its difficult to work between departments. There is no long term planning and there is no employee development like at neighboring school districts. The attrition rate is high.
