Pros

Mostly kind and helpful colleagues

Cons

This may vary by school, but in my experience, fractional roles are often not well respected in terms of boundaries. Non-working days and agreed schedules are frequently overlooked, with requests to swap days to avoid additional hours payments. This can feel like a way to extract additional work without appropriate compensation, demanding full-time flexibility for part-time pay. This really feels unfair, and I would be cautious about accepting a part-time offer…
