Pros

Time off, the kids you of course!

Cons

The pay does not compensate for the amount of work. The people you work with are nice but the realization that these are the people we entrust education to is sad. The countless masters and PhDs are nothing but titles are more than half the people are not very bright. The nepotism is UNBELIEVABLE and depending on the campus it can all get very racial or it's about the cliques. I've never worked at a place like this and I was glad to leave. If I could describe HISD in one sentence, it's a bunch of people who peaked in high school and are still trying to hold on to their social hiarchy.

Pros

You get a study paycheck. I had amazing co-workers who where supportive.

Cons

Bad leadership. You will be blamed for issues and problems even if they aren't clear about expectations or mistakes where made by them. Don't expect a fair evaluation system either. I was under 3-4 at any given time. (Part of your evaluation is how much you do for work outside of work hours too.) You will be reminded that you are a salary employee and that Texas is an at will state constantly. You will be awarded leadership programs that if you refuse to to do or are not able to do during your time off will count against your evaluation.
