Pros

You can help enrich the lives of students. You can meet some very compassionate teachers and administrators who really care about learning.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. The higher ups are more concerned about their own professional development often at the expense of other employees. No performance evaluations and very little feedback if any until you are being shown the door. Stay far away.

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.
