Pros

Good work environment, but greatly depends on the campus and administration. Working for the community and cultivating the love of education in the future generations. Decent benefit packages and pay scale Summers and holidays off.

Cons

Everything is always changing and the wheel reinvents every year, depending which programs, vendors or alliances are brought for. Lack of support for teachers and staff, overcrowded classes, not enough manpower for the load of work that there is! Micromanagement, needless paperwork and duties, and the assumption that everybody is willing or able to do work during their personal time. Lack of trust in teachers' instructional methods, constant observation and scrutiny, especially by people who barely have any experience in the classroom, who are constantly scheduling planning and meetings to justify their job. Due to burnout, many teachers and staff lose their interest or commitment to their jobs.

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.
