      Pros

      - Location - Opportunity for salary raises and bonuses - Opportunity for promotion within school, but this depends on the school - Cost of living in Houston is low, and salary is appropriate

      Cons

      - Very high-stakes testing driven - Lots of staff turnover in specific schools - High rate of TFA teachers - Many teachers leave for KIPP, Yes Prep, or other charters - Experience just really varies by 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.
