Pros

flexibility, visit campuses and make a difference in teaching and learning, supportive direct management

T. Grier operated on fear, removed position before the contract was over, resulting in laid off employees owing $3k back to the district; ongoing changes make work ineffective

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
