Pros

Time off, the kids you of course!

Cons

The pay does not compensate for the amount of work. The people you work with are nice but the realization that these are the people we entrust education to is sad. The countless masters and PhDs are nothing but titles are more than half the people are not very bright. The nepotism is UNBELIEVABLE and depending on the campus it can all get very racial or it's about the cliques. I've never worked at a place like this and I was glad to leave. If I could describe HISD in one sentence, it's a bunch of people who peaked in high school and are still trying to hold on to their social hiarchy.

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.
