Pros

You get paid. You get health insurance. It's a life changing experience, but not in the way you hoped.

Cons

Apollo 20. Incompetency from management, negligence, bullying administrators who will bombard employees with memorandums, lack of support, defiant students who are often aggressive towards teachers. Do thorough research on the campus before accepting an offer. Find out where they rank as far as incidents go, ask how many new teachers they are bringing aboard, and do not work at a campus that has an F grade. There are far better districts.

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.
