      I work in the IT department for HISD. The department is getting much better over the past two years. More useful training, improved communications, overall better experiences.

      Cons

      Limited access to fix things yourself. PowerUp initiative if working at local schools.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extensive professional development opportunities, competitive pay and benefits, job mobility and opportunities to move up and into school leadership roles.

      Cons

      Because of the amount of pressure from Administration, the workload as a teacher is near impossible to complete during the week. There is little regard for work-life balance and this creates an extremely resentful workplace environment. Since jobs in administration can be acquired rather easily, principals and AP's are often not qualified to be leaders on their campuses.
