Wake County Public Schools

Is this your company?

It used to be a wonderful place to work - now with all of the politics involved it is becoming less about the students. - Teacher Wake County Public Schools Employee Review

Pros

It offers fairly stable employment for staff. Your colleagues are usually very supportive and like to help each other. If you are lucky enough to get into a school with a family type environment - you will be very happy.

Cons

The Board continues to take away benefits - both medical and professional. With all of the "in fighting" going on within the board - it seems as though it is more about which side wins then what is best for the students and staff.

Pros

Lengthy time off and decent benefits.

Cons

Very little support. Very challenging students and colleagues. The pay is awful and the state of NC has a very bad situation with its government. Students get away with a lot with no recourse and teachers have too many students in pretty poor working conditions. If I hadn't started teaching decades ago, I wouldn't be doing it. I definitely would not recommend young people to go into this profession in its current iteration.
