Pros
Can't say never took job I was offered do to unusual onboarding practices.
Cons
The hiring/onboarding process was unusual, backwards, and seemed to be unprofessional. I was offered a position with HISD at the end of December I was not given my salary until 10 days before my start date which was to be at the end of January. HISD does not give you your salary or start date until AFTER you complete all the necessary information such as background check, I-9, and on boarding documents. After I was given my salary which was the MINIMUM of the salary pay scale I was told that they DO NOT negotiate salary, but they will adjust based on your experience when you provide Verification of Employment from previous employers. I provided VOE letters and was told it would take 1-2 days to verify my employment and provide an adjusted salary based on my experience. Over a week later I had not been given an adjusted salary. I chose to decline the offer. It appeared as though they were trying to stall me out so that I would so up the first day and be stuck with the salary they offered.
