Pros

Standard business hours with rare instance for night/weekend work and ability to make a difference in the District. With such a large District, they have great initiatives that are neat to be a part of.

Cons

Zero schedule flexibility or work from home - get sideways glances for leaving 15 minutes early. Very difficult to get training. While money may be approved for large initiatives, hardly anything is alotted for ongoing operations and maintenance.

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.
