Pros

Got hired relatively easily, relatively consistent work hours, lots of holidays. It's also very emotionally rewarding and enjoyable work. I like making a difference in these kids' lives.

Cons

Holidays are unpaid, I haven't taken their insurance because I heard isn't that great so I am paying for my own out of pocket. I am currently stationed at Sunrise school. The only way to advance is to get hired on directly by the school as a paraprofessional, but you would take a massive paycut in exchange for paid holidays and good benefits. I am making decent pay now, and it increases by a dollar per hour each year, but I feel stuck. Also, working with the kids can be very overstimulating and exhausting at times.
