Pros

-Team is always available if you have concerns. Communication has gotten better the longer I have worked with them. Communication wasn't that great in the beginning. -Get a pay raise every year -PD Courses avaiable -Wellness and PD Stipends available -I believe they also have mileage reimbursement available if you travel far enough (I do not)

Cons

-no paid holidays -do not accrue PTO (only 5 sick days per year) -health coverage is pretty basic -No Summer placement (although I have tried every single year to get one) -Not always easy to move if this company does not have an outstanding contract with the school you want/posted a job listing. Have not had success when asking them to reach out to schools that I have seen postings that I am interested in
