Pros
Higher pay than other districts, good benefits, holidays; making a difference in the lives of kids; some campuses have good leadership
Cons
There are so many programs to implement (and they are constantly changing), data to collect and enter, and the workload creates a life where you work every evening and weekend, and feel anxious about the pending work in your down time. The new rules to minimize time wasted during routines and transitions, and to maximize more instruction time has taken away the joys of teaching for teachers (and probably students too). While it seems well-meaning to impact student learning and fill in learning gaps, in the long term will create more teacher burn out and resignation, and deprive students of spontaneous teachable moments, and social-emotional learning. The expected pace and "sense of urgency" is not healthy. HR department is hard to reach, even if you go in person.
