Pros

If you get a job at a school with high achieving students, then you can receive a pretty large bonus.

Cons

The whole district is always in transition. Most people don't stay long enough to create a sense of continuity and the policies change so often that there's barely enough time to get used to something before they change it.

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.
