Pros

-Salary above 50k -Benefits -Time off around holidays and summers

Cons

-Poor organization that does not communicate expectations clearly -District does not support campuses -Poor professional development compared to other districts for newer teachers -Discipline is not handled well by the district and though my principal has tried several avenues and solutions to combat this, they are still met with resistance from administration when it comes to implementing these solutions.

Passion for teaching is deceased

Pros

Many professional development opportunities, although a bit redundant at times. Good pay, especially for "new" teachers. I love my colleagues though, they keep me sane.

Cons

Terrible communication campus and district wide, teachers do other people's jobs (subbing for other teachers during the work day, excessive data analysis, etc), very data-driven district where they only seem to care about test scores, SO MUCH MICROMANAGING that you feel like you're walking on eggshells each morning you walk in, inconsistent rules and expectations, no conference time (unless you want to count 30 minutes a week), lack of balance between work and family. The majority of employees feel unappreciated for the hard work we do. Admin don't really know what they're doing (they fake it) and place the responsibility on their teachers. No wonder the district has been audited twice within the last three years I've been here...

Pros

Salary & benefits are competitive, majority of the staff is very committed to providing a high quality education.

Cons

Politics, rather than work experience and results, determine who gets promoted! Schedule changes can happen at any time across the board to protect those favored teachers and make their lives easier... how is this fair to the child let alone the teacher?
