For profit schools, testing in-person a month out of the year even if remote, the pay is lower than in-person and there is a lot of change in positions even throughout the school year.

Cons
Each department is different, but the ELL/ESL department is very micromanaged. Class sessions were required to be recorded, and it’s your fault if students don’t attend class (there are no repercussions for students who don’t attend). Case loads aren’t manageable (most are over 100 students). The job description is very misleading- ELL specialists end up being ELL teachers with a multitude of additional responsibilities. Very much ‘sink or swim’. Pay is low, and benefits are very expensive.
