Pros

You can't beat the schedule, if you're a 10 month employee. That means its great for teachers and "select" support staff, not so for everyone else.

Cons

You are pigeon-holed and there is no room for advancement. You are also viewed as a pawn to be played with. There is little respect for individuals other than "how they can be used". College degrees are unimportant and you are not viewed as a professional.

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.
