American School in Guatemala
I am not sure if you are talking about CAG or another school. CAG stands for Colegio Americano de Guatemala. At CAG much of the staff is foreign - about 60 or so. There are many things to do with the foreign staff - traveling, parties, sports, dinners. However, the locals are amazing, so I wouldn't recommend spending all of your time with the foreign hires.
I believe CAG pays well. It is my first international job though so I can't compare it to anything. I don't have any debt, but travel almost every weekend. It is pretty cheap to travel in Guatemala. The school provides quite a bit in their package. I think all of the information is listed on their site.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Guatemala
I live in Guatemala now and am working at an international school.
In general, I love it. I am a single person and am paid enough to travel almost every weekend. The American School pays well and provides you with summer travel stipends, move in/out allowances, and housing of your choosing (no furniture, but you can easily find a furnished place here.)
I don't often go many places alone, but not because I feel unsafe....more so because I am not a fluent Spanish speaker. Usually when there is more than one person you can figure out what is going on when trying to negotiate life in Spanish.
If you have specific questions, please let me know.
