A very toxic environment where management imposes its will through fear, intimidation and bullying. - Anonymous employee Houston ISD Employee Review

Speaking up is not encouraged. New ideas are not welcomed. Management is strangely provincial and arrogant simultaneously. Health benefits are surprisingly bad. Cost of living adjustments are non-existent as are merit raises. Management leads through intimidation which leads to a keep-your-head-down attitude. Established procedures seem to be there to prevent progress yet they are routinely circumvented when they are inconvenient to management. Senior management believes it can do no wrong and quickly stamps out criticism through humiliation.
