Pros

Overall, I think HISD is a great school district to work in. In my experience, I had great administrators and good pay comparably.

Cons

There is no where near enough time to get everything done in 37.5 hours per week. I was always overextended and had additional duties assigned throughout the year without compensation.

Pros

Pays more than most districts. There is possibility of growth or movement every year.

Cons

Too many changes at times. When you have a good administration, they are shipped to other schools to help, but your school has to rest and start over with a leadership.
