Pros

Here you can be a do as little as you want and no body cares. You get a great schedule. Take all the time for lunch you want. Go home early and get paid for the full day. If you are a grounds worker you are suppose to have your CDL but it is really optional. No body ever looks over your shoulder or rides your butt, it is so easy. Even if you tear up stuff like trucks or mowers, they just give you a new one. You don't have to be knowledgeable of anything to come work here. If you come from Magee brothers you will be hired at a higher pay rate and be ahead of others.

Cons

The only con is the pay is really, really low. What ever you negotiate as your starting pay will be your ending pay. Some people do a lot better job than others. There is no way to move up off grounds once you come in as grounds you will only ever be grounds. They use to train you to do other jobs and move up and off the mower, not any more.

Pros

Summers off, if you have kids you have Christmas, new years, and spring break off to spend with them. Your official workday ends at 3:05pm although grading, printing, planning can run past that if needed. If you are a BT (in specific core subjects), Union county has a program that will fund and pay for your certificate as long as you work in unio county a certain amount of years and maintain a certain gpa. Wish they offered assistance with a masters but I have not found any at this time.

Cons

Not steady on what you teach, once your comfortable with a class they switch you to teaching something else in the same field which requires new panning, worksheets, learning lessons you haven't seen in a while. would be nice to stick to one class especially once your organized and have yourself set up for success. some plan paper worksheets, online assignments, canvas, etc. So Switching the class I can no longer use any of the material i have purchased. Pay could be higher but we all know this accepting a job as a teacher prior so that's kind of on us. But higher annual raises would be beneficial instead of $75-$100 max a month. Healthcare also just went up. Granted it was only a 10-15 change but still. Dental and vision are on the higher side through a company that i've seen so keeping medical at the 25/50 option would have been nice in my opinion instead of around 35/60-65. It made me drop mine from the higher plan to the lower plan.
