Pros

Upper Leadership is very focused on making sure that future endeavors are a priority. This is a good place to network and move up, but only if your supervisor approves.

Cons

I applied for a job at another school, and my principal told them that they shouldn't hire me. I do an excellent job, so I was so shocked to learn that not only did I not get the job, but that someone had gatekeeped me because I work with the neediest children in the school, which apparently does not interest this principal. I now have to take on additional leadership roles without additional compensation so that I can move up one notch in pay and leadership responsibilities. I was so dissapointed.

Pros

If you are looking for a stable job with benefits, teaching is definitely one route to take. You get to build relationships with kids and work with like minded adults for the majority of the time.

Cons

Student behaviors have become out of control with no real consequences. Students run their parents, parents run the administration, administration runs the teachers, therefore the students run the teachers. Your pay increase from year to year is so minor, it is actually an insult. The amount of emotional and physical stress we are put under to equate to minimum appreciation is ridiculous.
