      Great as contract teacher. Sucks as substitute teacher.

      Pros

      Given the right school, principal and parents HISD can be a delightful place to work.

      Cons

      Substitute teachers are not respected by the administration nor the kids. Many schools do not send payroll in on time for substitutes. You have to call the school when your time is not turned in on a timely basis.

      A very toxic environment where management imposes its will through fear, intimidation and bullying.

      Pros

      Two weeks off for xmas, 1 week off for spring break and 3 days off for thanksgiving plus two weeks vacation. Central office facilities are nice. Generally there is no weekend work and tend to stick to a 40 hour work week

      Cons

      Speaking up is not encouraged. New ideas are not welcomed. Management is strangely provincial and arrogant simultaneously. Health benefits are surprisingly bad. Cost of living adjustments are non-existent as are merit raises. Management leads through intimidation which leads to a keep-your-head-down attitude. Established procedures seem to be there to prevent progress yet they are routinely circumvented when they are inconvenient to management. Senior management believes it can do no wrong and quickly stamps out criticism through humiliation.
