Pros
The pay is good on paper. Benifits are great.
Cons
DCPS is insane, no realistic aid, PDs are worthless, and as far as salary goes, taxes, other with-holdings, and basic cost of living is so high that you will feel more like you are working at a Starbucks. The pay is NOT BETTER COMPARIBLY when you factor in all those things.
