Pros
The compensation and benefits of working for Fulton County Schools are some of the best in the region if not in the nation and cost of living is relatively inexpensive in certain areas within driving distance of the schools. Many of the schools are in close proximity to the metro Atlanta area or in the nicer suburban areas just outside of the city.
Cons
Enjoyment factor in Fulton County Schools seems to depend on which school you work for. It is a diverse county racially, economically, and in terms of growth. In high needs schools, local politics sometimes lands inexperienced leadership in schools with high needs. This can make an already stressful and demanding job even more so. It is a large county and so more high-tech and more demanding than others.
