Pros

I work in the IT department for HISD. The department is getting much better over the past two years. More useful training, improved communications, overall better experiences.

Cons

Limited access to fix things yourself. PowerUp initiative if working at local schools.

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.
