Pros

Most jobs apart from teaching pay more than anywhere else. Lots of middle management jobs available where you can do a little and get paid a lot.

Cons

It’s a bureaucracy. Lots of rules and inefficiencies that make it hard if you’re trying to do good work and help kids.

Pros

You get a study paycheck. I had amazing co-workers who where supportive.

Cons

Bad leadership. You will be blamed for issues and problems even if they aren't clear about expectations or mistakes where made by them. Don't expect a fair evaluation system either. I was under 3-4 at any given time. (Part of your evaluation is how much you do for work outside of work hours too.) You will be reminded that you are a salary employee and that Texas is an at will state constantly. You will be awarded leadership programs that if you refuse to to do or are not able to do during your time off will count against your evaluation.
