Pros

Though the job may be difficult, the ability to work with like-minded individuals made pursing the mission feasible and relatively enjoyable. TFA was wonderful regarding the amount of support available for its corps members. Loved interacting with my PDs and always felt refreshed after a meeting.

Cons

Long hours, and seemingly lack of respect from parents and administration (unrelated to TFA, but still part of the job).

Pros

As a college student looking into their fellowship program, they were very informative and helpful whenever I had questions. Working with the students for a semester was very fulfilling. I never had any issues with any of the local school staff or the TFA administration. There are plenty of opportunities for growth.

Cons

Because it is a nonprofit organization working with educators and students, the pay can be less than optimal, but even then the work is so fulfilling that it's not necessarily a con in my opinion.
