Pros

Fac/staff were helpful and kind. Money could have been better after 30 years.

Cons

I was injured on the job and could not return as soon as I needed to. I was told by HR, on speakerphone, my position was closed and I would need to find a job myself or wait till the next year and I would be placed. That is how I was shown how much I was appreciated. I spent many hours at school working...most 12 hour days. BEWARE AND GET REVIEWS OF WHO YOUR PRINCIPAL WILL BE.

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.
