Pros

Great co-worked, better pay than most teaching gigs, excellent PD

Cons

After the huge expansion (opening several schools in a short time), the school went down hill. There was too much turnover in leadership to open these new schools, which resulted in ripping greener teachers out of classrooms to replace those leaders, and eventually - the school sort of fell apart. No discipline, weak hires, lots of turnover.
