      Depends on the school you teach

      Pros

      Salary is reasonable. If you get deployed to a school with good school leaders and positive school culture, you will be very happy there. If you don't like the current school environment, you can apply to other schools through open posting. Nature of the job is also meaningful (if you like to make an impact on young lives).

      Cons

      Long working hours; need to have very good time management skills in order to have work-life balance.
