Pros

-Large company so benefits package was diverse and many to choose from -A lot of professional development opportunities and district can pay for some of these PDs if your school has enough funding

Cons

-Too much bureaucracy (top heavy) -Not much freedom to be yourself as a teacher (micromanaging and they want cookie cutter teaching)

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.
