Pros

You can't beat the schedule, if you're a 10 month employee. That means its great for teachers and "select" support staff, not so for everyone else.

Cons

You are pigeon-holed and there is no room for advancement. You are also viewed as a pawn to be played with. There is little respect for individuals other than "how they can be used". College degrees are unimportant and you are not viewed as a professional.

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.
