Pros

Benefits and work life balance were pretty good. Staff are very friendly in the business office.

Cons

Long term employees find change hard. The district is extremely top heavy. Seems like they spend most of their money on upper management that could be spent elsewhere. Promotions were given to individuals based on who they knew.
