Pros

I love my schools W2 Don’t micromanage you

Cons

Recruiters are impersonal and rude (my recruiter actually mocked me for what I asked for when negotiating the next years contract /to my SLPA./ She didn’t even realize she was my SLPA or that we had different roles in general. That’s how little they care to know about their employees.)
