Pros

Most jobs apart from teaching pay more than anywhere else. Lots of middle management jobs available where you can do a little and get paid a lot.

Cons

It’s a bureaucracy. Lots of rules and inefficiencies that make it hard if you’re trying to do good work and help kids.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
