Pros

Being able to work with students in my community has been amazing. Most staff members are great to work with, but like all places there are always some rotten apples. Compensation definitely needs to improve which is what might drive me away from the field, but otherwise do enjoy it here.

Cons

Compensation is extremely low compared to the other urban districts in Texas and low for the cost of living here in Austin. Deadlines always seem emerge out of thin air. Don't seem to feel as appreciated as one should. Would be nice to feel more like other professionals and be compensated based on time, effort, results, experience, and specializations not just based on some whacky ladder that gives you .01% every other year.

Decent pay and good PTO.

Demanding schedules. Administration doesn't communicate well, and budget cuts make the job harder.
