      Valuable impact on students, but high workload persists

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive pay and benefits compared to many surrounding districts. Meaningful impact on students and opportunities to build strong relationships. Dedicated coworkers and campus staff who genuinely care about student success.

      Cons

      High workload and frequent meetings. Limited time during the workday to complete all required tasks. Expectations can continue to grow without a reduction in other responsibilities. Work-life balance can be difficult to maintain.

      Supportive co-workers overshadowed by poor leadership and evaluations

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
