Pros
TFA was great with professional development and showed a real commitment to its staff and learning. There is a lot of room to grow and develop skills where you want and need!
Cons
The cons are few and far between for me, and they're changing the internal structure a lot so it might not be relevant but getting help from the national office was often a chore and a half!
