Pros

Rewarding work. You really have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of children.

Cons

Little room for personal growth. You will be stuck. The best people are in and out. The culture is not good at all. VERY political. Not a positive environment. If you are in a position in which you interact with the public, be prepared to be treated very poorly with your character and morals being questioned every turn.

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.
