Pros

I worked at Tri-Cities High School. The administration is awesome, I could not asked for a better supporting staff; Teachers are all about the students!

Cons

students and buildings are a bit rough around the edges; Also going to school is like a fashion show or popularity contest so come with your A-Game.

Pros

Great colleagues, if you can find the time to commiserate; overall good demographic of kids and parents.

Cons

GA is a 'right to work' state, and the HR department prides themselves on being gangster thugs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Doesn't take out social security which equates to slightly higher pay (take-home pay still commensurate with other counties). Fulton was one of the counties better prepared for the recession, though still no raise after 2 years, and furlough days were deducted last academic year (not exclusive to Fulton however).

Cons

Poor organization! Central Office higher-ups in charge of too many departments. New employees left to "figure it out." Hiring process nerve-racking. Lack of respect for related services providers with advanced degrees (not exclusive to Fulton). A frustratingly amount of kowtowing to parents so as not to "rock the boat." Professional opinion disregarded (not exclusive to Fulton).
