Pros

Plenty of schools to choose from. If you relocate in Houston, changing jobs is easy when the company is this big. The pay is pretty good in comparison to surrounding schools.

Cons

Administrators try to run things while the teachers talk about them behind their backs. If you teach in urban area be prepared for no parent support and disrespectful kids.

Pros

You can't beat the schedule, if you're a 10 month employee. That means its great for teachers and "select" support staff, not so for everyone else.

Cons

You are pigeon-holed and there is no room for advancement. You are also viewed as a pawn to be played with. There is little respect for individuals other than "how they can be used". College degrees are unimportant and you are not viewed as a professional.
