Pros

good benefits for people with children and good working hours for moms. Great surroundings in some of the schools and nice kids

Cons

Administration is too big to try and get someone's attention and there are too many schools connected to the district to get very far in making a wave.

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.
