Pros

The kids, though no different than kids in the public schools, are enjoyable (if children are your cup of tea).

Cons

You will not get paid for every minute or even hour that you work. Lunch breaks are not the amount of time you are clocked out for and may be interrupted, there is always take-home work (don't believe their lies), 401K can't be utilized by most because you need to put in 12% of your pay to get their contribution, no life insurance, no holiday pay, etc. Management reprimands you like a child for not reading their mind or refusing to brainwash yourself with their ideologies. New teachers are expected to sink or swim - training is nonexistent, yet you must do everything their way. Most employees are "joyfully stupid" or financially desperate. Lots of racial bias! Very strange curriculum. School's goals are to brainwash children to be Libertarians. A Libertarian doesn't want the government to impose rules, so instead you are subject to the rules/laws of your employer. Challenger wants to impose their own laws on employees which are not in employees' best interest. They do not like, and try to circumvent, following current government laws that protect employees - such as getting paid for all hours worked! The place is corrupt with many spouses and family members working there. Do you think a teacher would be reprimanded if her boss's boss is the teacher's husband? Lots of that going on! At $15 an hour with unpaid prep-time and limited benefits, anyone can do better, especially someone deemed a "professional."
