Pros

As a large district, Austin ISD has access to vast resources. I rarely found a time when supples were not available to me.

Cons

Austin ISD does not seem to care very much about retaining its teachers. The principals have all gotten to be principals based on politics instead of qualifications. I have worked in several different school districts in two different states, and Austin Independent School District is the only one I could not recommend. The salary is not as high as surrounding districts, the insurance is just on par. Austin ISD gives less sick days than surrounding districts.

Pros

The pros are the teaching resources that the district has and the school calendar which allows for summer vacation.

Cons

The cons are high turnover rate and the low value placed on truly supporting teachers. The district does a great job of appearing to support teachers without any of the substantive actions that would accomplish that.
