Pros

There is a lot of opportunity to move around and advance (if one plays "the game" right). Co-workers are usually wonderful, and people from other states, countries, etc. are made to feel welcomed.

Cons

There is far too much disparity in the high schools. Principals and other administrators can easily get promoted. Our campus leader failed miserably ( dropout rates went up and failure rates increased), and he/she got promoted to a higher-performing school in a much safer community. HISD is not a teacher-friendly climate at all.
