Pros

The school calendar breaks and holidays off.

Cons

There is NO work life balance. Questionable leadership teams that consists of a main principal and a variety of assistant principals (too many differing opinions). There is little to no flexibility in how you use your time once school hours end. Irrelevant meetings that require all staff attendance are held almost every day afterschool, regardless what grade or content you teach. The current principal will ask staff to notify him of their location any and every time he feels "unaware". There is an overall lack of understanding when it comes to teachers needs, yet a standard of "equity" pushed on staff.

Pros

The people here are so enjoyable to work with. Smart, down-to-earth, mission-oriented. Work-life balance is also strong and has attributed to me staying so long.

Cons

Lean teams can often mean wearing many hats and not being able to specialize/hone skills as sharply because of it
