Pros

Competitive pay and benefits compared to many surrounding districts. Meaningful impact on students and opportunities to build strong relationships. Dedicated coworkers and campus staff who genuinely care about student success.

Cons

High workload and frequent meetings. Limited time during the workday to complete all required tasks. Expectations can continue to grow without a reduction in other responsibilities. Work-life balance can be difficult to maintain.

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.
