Pros
Nice facilities in most locations. Many enormously dedicated colleagues Winter holiday bonuses Tuition reimbursement (for study related to your present position)
Cons
These apply only to school-based staff: Allowed only 5 personal / sick days each year -- and management acts like this is doing you a generous favor! Longevity not valued: new hires with same credentials will be paid more than you. No committee structure to schools. Teachers kept "professionally isolated." Admin concerned with school census over quality. High turn-over in staff (not good for students w/ special needs) If you're injured by a student, Workers' Comp (which has offices on-site at SP Towson HQ?) may resemble the Spanish Inquisition. Administrators may not be terribly supportive, either. Directors are happy to tell staff how easily they can be replaced.
