Pros

Salary is good but is it worth your mental health.

Cons

Your principal will throw you under the bus and won't back you. They will tell you what you wanna hear. So Beware! Students can kick you and spit on you without any consequences. This is Kindergarten. North Forest ISD should have never been taken over by HISD. Students run the school.

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.
