Pros

If you are an excellent teacher who doesn't mind hard work HISD is the place for you. It has a bad reputation and some schools are bad but many are fantastic. The financial awards can be wonderful.

Cons

There are a lot of administrators to please. Whenever a new superintendent comes on board things change even if they have previously worked.

Pros

Salary---Salary and Salary. The ASPIRE program is both a pro and a con. You can earn a huge bonus but it is not quite fair.

Cons

Principals are chosen based on who they know. Upper management is beyond stupid--nepotism runs crazy. Good employes are not recognized enough..there is no pride about working for HISD--people will put you down for being a public school teacher.
