Pros

At the time I was working there, the benefit packages were decent and the health plan was manageable. We ended up having to move because those things were cut in union negotiations by a significant portion, and we couldn't make it on both our incomes. Much happier in our new state.

Cons

Again, major cuts to pay/benefit packages. Also had issues with some of the curriculum, as well as the stances on discipline. HISD is supposed to be one of the better districts in TX, but it doesn't measure up to the other districts in which I've been fortunate to teach in other states.

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.
