Diverse work culture and environment. Competitive starting salary and overall school district pay. Good insurance, incentives, and other employee benefits. Opportunitities for advancement/ promotion. Great work-life balance capabilities. The well-being of the students comes first.

May require long commutes in heavy traffic to and from work; better to coordinate work location with choice of residence. Stipends may be limited for certain areas of specialization. Funding cuts cause barriers to providing the best student learning experiences in some cases.

Pros

You get a study paycheck. I had amazing co-workers who where supportive.

Cons

Bad leadership. You will be blamed for issues and problems even if they aren't clear about expectations or mistakes where made by them. Don't expect a fair evaluation system either. I was under 3-4 at any given time. (Part of your evaluation is how much you do for work outside of work hours too.) You will be reminded that you are a salary employee and that Texas is an at will state constantly. You will be awarded leadership programs that if you refuse to to do or are not able to do during your time off will count against your evaluation.
