Pros

Great pay between appointments. It was your hour wage not minimum wage. They always offered a case to sub when families cancelled. HR was very professional.

Cons

Management engage in bullying and illegal stuff. By illegal I mean, they don't want you and WILL NOT allow you to take your 10 minute break (thanks HR for saving the day). If you dare to explain management labor laws and your rights, they will yell at you and will say that you are not cooperating....as in spreading a bad reputation about you. They also want you to take your unpaid 30 minute break at the end of your shift. During training my instructor was not able to communicate subject in a clear way (thank god I had experience!) She dismissed our questions. Trainers will flake. Some managers don't know what they are doing. Parents will notice and comment on it! They will show up to family's home unannounced ...Parents thought it was disrespectful. Not committed to making sure you are following proper methodology or taking date appropriately.

Pros

Very fun to work with the kids, and seeing them make progress in their programs makes you feel very accomplished and proud.

Cons

Hourly pay is a big detriment when clients can cancel sessions an hour before and employees receive no compensation (unless they were en route to client). "Paid drive time" is appealing, but you're not paid the time you are actually driving, but instead you are paid the mileage between homes and for a small fraction of your hourly rate. Also, demands a lot of hours of availability to work, but employee is not likely to be assigned clients to said hours.
