I currently work for Stride and I am enjoying every minute of it. I love working with a team that cares and respects each other and are there for each other too in anyway possible. Together we can to help every student be successful. Though at times it may seem overwhelming but just knowing your team has your back gives peace of mind. We are there for each other so we can be there for our students. I love my job!

Lots of pivoting but it makes you better in the long run so it's really not a con.

Pros

We are trained to do one job and do it really well. Your job description doesn't change from one day to the next. You are intensively and detailed oriented trained to do your one job really well. No one is going to ask you to do something you don't know how to do.

Cons

If you have been a long time in person Public School Teacher, TRS does not go with you to STRIDE. If you have Teacher's Retirement, you can roll it into the 401K plan at STRIDE that pays up to 4% matching funds but if you are close to retirement on a TRS point system, you may want to wait until after retirement to start working at STRIDE
