Forget work life balance

Pros

One month off in the summer.

Cons

Employers take the “whatever it takes” attitude too far. You’re expected to be a slave to your school, but the work is not distributed evenly and a lot of administrators sit around all day. You will be judged for taking so sick days (if they are even approved). There are schools with better work life balance out there. Would not recommend.
