Good place to gain experience, bad place to stay forever - Teacher New Hanover County Schools Employee Review

Pros

It's fairly easy to get a job here, especially with more urban schools. It allowed me to gain a lot of experience quickly with different grade levels within a few years.

Cons

Obviously this is dependent on each school and principal - but overall there was a lack of funding for basic needs (no printers in classrooms, low copy limits, etc). All of these factors made it harder to accomplish the primary goal of educating students. At the elementary level, there is very little planning time. Although there is a supplement for working in New Hanover County, the pay rate is still low to afford a decent place if you are single.

Stable hours, and working with the kids.

Feeling unsupported, subs are unable to support classrooms appropriately, extra duties without supplemental pay, impossible to feel good about the work you are doing.
