Pros

Gaston county schools has a great new teacher training and support program. Administration is fairly supportive. Good climate - co-workers are friendly and supportive.

Cons

NC is one of the worst states for teachers. Low pay, benefits aren't great. Gaston county schools docks your pay if you miss work due to snow days, even when they close the schools. Large classes, students can be very difficult.

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful training ground. You can learn everything at once. Caring professional co-workers, willing to tell you what you need to know, do and how to get it done. Administration is made up of true educators. Procedures are clearly made

Cons

Principal is test score geared. Principal is great idea designer, but expects everyone else to make her vision come true. Principal wishy-washy about making things clear. Principal micro-manages, and yet expects everyone to put in 12hr days,because she puts in 12 hr days. Students are attitudinal with little authoritarian respect for their elders.
