Pros
Hourly pay better than some of the other school districts in Contra Costa County. Easy to find work. Right in the middle of East Bay, close to everything.
Cons
No benefits. They only give it to full-time employees. They make sure all instructional aides and other support staff work part time. They won't higher them for more than 6.5 hours, so they remain on part-time status. That way they can avoid paying benefits. Also, a lot of schools don't have enough staff. There's no quality staff training. They put people in very responsible positions to care for students with severe disabilities, yet they don't provide proper training for how to actually care for these vulnerable students. All they do is show videos on sexual harassment and how to deal with hazardous spills, that kind of thing.
