Pros

You can't beat the schedule, if you're a 10 month employee. That means its great for teachers and "select" support staff, not so for everyone else.

Cons

You are pigeon-holed and there is no room for advancement. You are also viewed as a pawn to be played with. There is little respect for individuals other than "how they can be used". College degrees are unimportant and you are not viewed as a professional.

Pros

At an EAS school, there is more autonomy. It is not so microamnaged. Free Pre-k for your kids. Available bonus pay through PFP model.

Cons

Not much coaching happening at EAS schools (for a first year teacher that may be difficult). Not all elementary schools have Pre-k so your kid may not attend the school you work at. I am finding out my new salary on THE DAY I RETURN TO WORK. Crazy.
