Pros

The students in the district are amazing

Cons

Principals have way too much power. It's not about how well you do your job but how he/she feels about you. You can be fired and your career ended if a principal doesnt like you

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.
