Pros

The wonderful staff and children you get to work with

Cons

The management doesn't follow through on job promises. I was employed as a teacher's assistant. I asked for a full-time position closer to home. The supervisor stated she would. Summer came, and in mid- July, we were told the only positions available were halfway across the city. It would take more than an hour to get there.We were told no more positions would become available, but upon looking through indeed positions , there was 1 available close to my home. Yet this supervisor never called me, even though she said she would. I was so disappointed, because I had tried to be a conscientious worker last year.So , there I was at the end of July, trying to find a suitable position. The only positions available were prek and special ed, which I have no training for. I had to take a job outside of education. I'm so disappointed in this supervisor.

Pros

My supervisor was supportive, attentive, and respectful. Her weekly meetings were helpful, and supplies were ordered promptly.

Cons

Our funding was abruptly cut by the government. I was given no warning. All communications ceased from that day.

Pros

- Small groups allow strong focus on growing your instruction and differentiation skills - Exposure to multiple grades builds deep understanding of skill progression - Ability to drive meaningful student growth and maintain strong relationships

Cons

- Unstable pay and low job security (hourly, contract, funding-dependent) - when we're off for a break, or unexpected snow days, you do not get paid any of those hours. you don't know if you're hired for the next school year until mid/late August. title 1 funding cuts make the job unpredictable (significantly cut down hours with no notice- Friday notice, effective Monday) , and not secure. Hourly pay seems good until you realize you will almost never work a full 80 hours/paycheck - Heavy paperwork and misaligned responsibilities - Limited support for professional growth or leadership development - Some of the worst benefits packages I've ever seen - next to no employer investment in retirement and employer is very limited in health benefits contributions
