Pros

You can have a really good work life balance provided you dont feel bullied by principals, veteran teachers and staff know this but newbies feel pressure (dont allow yourself to be bullied) to answer every phone call, email etc after hours. You can find good mentors on your campus but you might have to ask for help. The nurse staff and managers are awesome, if you are a nurse help is always just a phone call away if you are a new teacher spend your first year watching and noticing the veteran teachers that get things done with very good results and that's not always the ones with the most flash

Cons

poor benefits relative to teacher pay, expect pay shock. you will be on a teacher salary pay scale, bloated admin staff but they are always the last ones to be cut, too much emphasis on test scores!!!! Not enough emphasis on the "whole child and family"
