Pros

It's experience for your resume. You can use your experience working with the developmentally disabled and families in future career endeavors.

Cons

I worked for Bancroft for over three years. While working for Bancroft I noticed that many of the employees that work directly with clients often went to the clinical consultant with questions. Often they were not listened to and they were redirected to talk about it later. There were certain times that I was told to talk about concerns later and that entailed talking to a supervisor after school and unfortunately after I was already clocked out. Kronos mobile was used for work to clock in and out. However, there were several times I took work phone calls and read/responded to emails when I was off the clock. For a company that proclaims to be family centered they are not very understanding when an employee needs off for an emergency. I noticed some of my co-workers were run down at times and management never seemed concerned. After the minimum wage went up new employees were hired at a higher rate than people who were there for years. However, the employees with more experience and equal education were making less and training the new hires. Recent changes entailed forcing some of the upper management to retire. I have never seen more turn-over at a company. When staff in the consultation department were hired they were given a job description and told they would be contracted to work in public schools. However, several of the staff have recently left because they are now requiring employees to work in group homes to make up hours that the school is closed for summer. When employees voiced their dismay they replied that it was a job description and not a contract, therefore, they would still be required to make up hours even though the additional assignments didn't fit their job description. Also, there is at times no chance to eat so you end up completely skipping lunch.

Pros

I think that the mission for what they do is great. At the time one of the ABA's in the Community and the kids make the mission worth it.

Cons

I'm not going to even complain about the pay or the benefits. Honestly just avoid this place like the plague, If you think about working there..just avoid the school at all cost. The residential is better but the pay and hours suck think 12-8 2-9. The point system is barbaric but the main ones are these: Retaliation against employees who report legitimate ethics violations (corrective actions, classroom reassignments following a good-faith report) HR inaction when employees report harassment by colleagues, even when it involves being approached at their home Chronic understaffing leading to genuine safety risks (911 calls with no backup support) Slow, disorganized exit processes — rescheduled exit interviews with no follow-up date given Protecting certain employees from accountability while punishing others for speaking up Poor communication from management during crises (8 hours before being told there was no Greentree support) Culture that discourages employees from reporting concerns, undermining trust
