Pros

I did learn a lot in terms of academic content that I was able to apply to other jobs. If you can stomach the mistreatment of students, it is well-paid.

Cons

This is not the job for you if you can't "drink the cool-aid". This is a great job for you if you are a young teacher with no prior teaching experience or are Teach for America. The schools differ from school to school, but I found Endeavor Elementary to be way too strict in terms of student behavior. I saw students disciplined for offenses such as sneezing too loudly , bumping into another student on accident, or resting one's head on your hand while listening.
