Pros

The RLSH department is on the top end as for salary and amenities in the state of Texas.

Cons

Struggle a bit with leadership. I think overall a well organized team, but at times things can get chaotic. Not a lot of room for career progression.

Pros

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

Cons

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
