Pros

I need at least 5 words for pros, but there are none

Cons

Salary is lower than competitors in the area (which is still VERY LOW), management is overbearing and micromanages you every second of the day, new coworkers are being hired but don't know what they're doing due to lack to technology knowledge and training from our administration, some students are being withdrawn for reasons beyond their control (COVID) while others can stay all semester and never submit a single assignment or show up to a single live lesson, too many tasks asked of teachers and not enough time to complete them (I am working 60+ hrs a week to stay afloat doing committees, events, homeroom, teaching, tutoring, MTSS Tiers 2 and 3, one-one-one help, minimum of 20 hours of live instruction, making 100 calls a week, club sponsorship, social emotional support, course setup and making exceptions for every student who was not able to do their work on time, state testing, no-show calling for state testing, data tracking for EVERYTHING in FIVE DIFFERENT PLACES, etc etc), administrators don't do anything about plagiarism or academic integrity issues, administrators don't communicate with parents/guardians unless they want something, your evaluation takes into account enrollment numbers and retention of students and whether they pass or not (you never get your full bonus), if someone doesn't do their job teaching, admin let's them slide and will give you their work, threatening and toxic admin that berate you and create an environment of fear for our jobs. I could go on but I'm tired just typing this out.

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
