Pros

-The district pays well for education positions. -Professional development opportunities are readily available to both new and experienced teachers. -Generally, the ability to take sick or personal days is flexible.

Cons

-The district is too large to have consistency in practices. -The school district, superintendent, and other administration are so consumed with playing politics that the students suffer.

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.
