Pros

The people are great, from office staff, to custodians, to the teachers. The county supplement is decent and there are lots of resources available to teachers.

Cons

Teaching is not what it used to be. The bureaucracy within the county and the state has become an obstacle to the true goal of education which is providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to become productive citizens. Union Co. is no exception

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.
