Pros

Wonderful students! Some great colleagues.

Cons

Poor planning, lack of communication, no consistency. Programs were implemented then abandoned too often in one school year. There does not seem to be a long-term plan. I had to work very long hours which could have been lessened with proper planning and communication by administrators.

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.
