Felt like a family

Pros

Great colleagues, great community, supportive families. Working in GPS felt like you were part of a family.

Cons

Stagnant wages and ever increasing costs shifted to employees. Lots of political turmoil and in-house fighting over the last few years.

Pros

Tons of professional development/recertification hours offered for free. You can move horizontally on the salary scale if you rack up enough PD hours. Duty only twice per week before or after school. Many of the elementary schools have late morning start times (8:45 at the school I taught at).

Cons

As a teacher you start out with a "bank" of 2 personal days for time off. That's it. You accrue 90% of a day each month. If you have small children in daycare that get sick and you end up missing days before you accrue them, your pay will be docked. There is an insane amount of assessment you have to give your students; so much that you wonder if you had enough time to teach the material before assessing your kids. The district is very segregated and doesn't work together. Each school site seems to work alone.

Work environment is OK, but the salary is poor.

Pros

I enjoy working there, but not getting a pay raise for five years is bad.

Cons

Tolerating the fact that we are not compensated with cost of living pay raises. It hasn't happened in five years.
