Pros

You get a lot of time off: 2 weeks for Christmas, 1 week for Spring Break, and all the other Holidays

Cons

There are no opportunities for growth. Once you enter the District, you are basically stuck doing the same thing. HISD does not offer any training and their salary levels are low, as opposed to the private sector. Although you get time off, you are not allowed to take it. You are advanced vacation, state, and local time, that you have to pay back, if you leave the District prior to accruing it. I do not recommend this employer, unless you have a family.

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.
