Pros

Build relationships with families & children See progress with children Good learning experience for child development Honestly, I can't think of any more "pros" to this position.

Cons

Unorganized Chaotic UNCLEAR JOB REQUIREMENTS Little corporate support Inconsistent schedule Long hours Emotionally taxing Franchisees barely involved Very little training Compensation does not match performance expectations This place. If you can't sell, don't even bother. The focus should be on helping families but corporate is only focused on making money. You are expected to sit and look at a family who is desperate and tell them you can fix their child for $6k-15k. Ridiculous. You'd think they would focus on training you if they are charging so much but you're basically just left to your own devices. Let's not even talk about the organization (or lack there of)! The schedule is inconsistent so if you have a family, or life outside of work, this is not the place for you. Some weeks you work 25 hours, the next 50. And when you are being paid hourly for a "full time" position, your pay checks are inconsistent too. The science behind the program is not backed up. Hardly any studies. The assessment results are prone to skewing and again, inconsistent. Leaving you feeling like you are lying to vulnerable parents over and over again. It's sad.

Pros

Working as a sensory motor coach here was a genuinely positive experience. Management was supportive and easy to reach, always offering helpful guidance and advice when needed. The culture felt welcoming from day one, and the flexible scheduling made it easy to balance the role with other commitments. Onboarding was smooth as well, and I felt well situated and set up for success.

Cons

The only thing is that there is a natural degree of unpredictability that comes with working with kids day to day, though that's more a reality of the work itself than a shortcoming of the job.
