Pros

Many opportunities for career growth Professional development Supportive colleagues Good pay High standards

Cons

Managers try to do minimum during induction, so it's up to teachers to seek help from colleagues. Software to keep track of lessons is difficult to use. Schedulers take advantage of new teachers and overbook with cover classes.
