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.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits compared to many surrounding districts. Meaningful impact on students and opportunities to build strong relationships. Dedicated coworkers and campus staff who genuinely care about student success.

Cons

High workload and frequent meetings. Limited time during the workday to complete all required tasks. Expectations can continue to grow without a reduction in other responsibilities. Work-life balance can be difficult to maintain.
