Pros

The pay is competitive and there are established structures for coaching, professional development, discipline, etc.

Cons

Incredibly overwhelming workload, micromanaging, too-strict disciplinary policies that focus on compliance rather than building community, strict scripted curriculum, long hours, endless list of deliverables

Student life is active, there is always room for growth.

Cons

Constantly being watched, always being judged, coworkers are catty, students are disruptive and leadership blames misbehaviors on teachers who are just trying their best to manage a 100minute class of 30+ kids.
