Pros

Flexibility in Hours Personal and Professional Growth a priority Well known and respected employer if/when you leave Pay for professional positions is very good

Cons

Not all managers stress growth No movement outside your department Benefits way too expensive to carry family, and they know it, benefit site has link to state funded options for your kids Can't talk to a human in payroll if you have any problems Payroll tends to be staffed with idiots - the ones that know what they are doing leave because of poor pay and too much work

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.
