Pros

Houston ISD offers competitive salaries and benefits to all employees. Of course all the "perks" of being a teacher, including the time off. You also receive a nice bank of sick days and vacation days on top of holidays.

Cons

It's probably just my school, but there is often no way for me to tell who to listen to because one administrator will say one thing and my appraiser will tell me to do another. There is constant bickering among the administration. Teachers and staff are not happy and no one feels like they can trust anyone.

Pros

You get a study paycheck. I had amazing co-workers who where supportive.

Cons

Bad leadership. You will be blamed for issues and problems even if they aren't clear about expectations or mistakes where made by them. Don't expect a fair evaluation system either. I was under 3-4 at any given time. (Part of your evaluation is how much you do for work outside of work hours too.) You will be reminded that you are a salary employee and that Texas is an at will state constantly. You will be awarded leadership programs that if you refuse to to do or are not able to do during your time off will count against your evaluation.
