Pros

The vacation and other time off is phenomenal. There aren't many places where administrative personnel get two weeks off for Christmas.

Cons

If you aren't a teacher, or directly impacting the lives of students, your efforts are seldom recognized. You are the last to get a raise and the first to be cut in a downsizing effort.

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.
