Pros

Clients are kind Pays well

Cons

Almost everything else. The parents of these specialist programs have insane expectations with no real form of support. You work 10-12 hour shifts with zero breaks and if you get lucky enough for a 10 minute break you are expected to be on standby if something happens. The owner allows the parents to run the programs how they see fit and management is just used a talking piece for the parents. You are under constant supervision of cameras and every thing is micromanaged. You will be overworked emotionally and constantly discouraged by the higher ups. The parents end up making things harder for the clients due to the constant state of Micromanaging. Your job duties will be constantly changing and policies will be updated weekly that you are expected to keep up on.
