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.

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.
