Pros

It is a public school.

Cons

Unsafe environment. Hostile Environment. No break times. PDAs and IDPY are subjective based on mood of principal. District under scrutiny by Ethics Board. Conflict of interest by HISD and vendors under investigation. Whistle blowers fired. Workman's Comp will get you fired. Terry Grier no longer CEO. He quit suddenly. No letter of reference means end of YOUR career. They will act so badly to force you to quit or kill yourself.

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.
