Pros

Love some staff friendships and building relationships with each student. Very rewarding.

Cons

- health insurance is expensive and no one has ever heard of it. Can’t find a doctor in network if you don’t live near PA. - they make you work from the minute you clock in to the minute you leave. - if there is a snow day, you have to use your precious PTO that took you months to accrue. - they don’t penalize salary staff for being late, only the paraprofessionals - admin and teachers have a power trip over the paras. - they guilt trip you and use “the safety of our students” - HR doesn’t get back to you unless it’s in their favor. - very poorly staffed and paras have to work harder to make up for it. - no communication between admin and its noticeable throughout the entire building.

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
