Pros

Location. Some good shopping in town and close to everything else in Texas. It's a 3 hour drive to Dallas, 2.5 hour drive to Houston.

Cons

Low wages compared to cities of same size. My wages are the same as someone living in a city with only 40,000 people. Austin has close to a million people. The wages should be much higher.

Business Outlook

Pros

As a large district, Austin ISD has access to vast resources. I rarely found a time when supples were not available to me.

Cons

Austin ISD does not seem to care very much about retaining its teachers. The principals have all gotten to be principals based on politics instead of qualifications. I have worked in several different school districts in two different states, and Austin Independent School District is the only one I could not recommend. The salary is not as high as surrounding districts, the insurance is just on par. Austin ISD gives less sick days than surrounding districts.
