Pros

the kids you help and the bonds you make with your coworkers are the only things that will keep you going. Nothing else.

Cons

There are so many cons to this place I could write a book. Upper management or “Higher ups” talk to you like you’re a slave or a child. No respect. No appreciation. When they do show appreciation it’s so fake it’s almost offensive. You can work 10 hours straight and be mandated up to 3 times a week to work an extra shift that day. They don’t care if you need to pick up your kids or anything and will threaten to fire you if you go home when your shift is over. They constantly harass you to work more hours because the turnover rate is so high they overwork the only people who stay. They take advantage of people who need the money to keep their families and pay rent. It’s so sad. Anyone saying anything good about this company is higher ups lying to make themselves look better. You can be beat up, hurt badly, get attacked by a student and need to go home and they’ll treat you like crap because you needed to go to the hospital. Agency charge is extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. I could go on and on but you should believe me when I say this place is a nightmare. if you were smart you would apply somewhere else.

Pros

The organization actively supports career growth by sponsoring postgraduate programs and providing continuous learning opportunities. Current staff are given priority and are strongly encouraged to apply first for internal job openings. The workplace fosters a multicultural environment and promotes diversity, welcoming employees from all walks of life.

Cons

On certain days, staffing levels may be low, so employees should be prepared to be mandated to remain on shift for extended hours as needed.

Pros

If you want to work in special education, it's a great place to start getting experience. They prefer to promote internally so there's lots of opportunity for growth. Unlimited overtime so if you really need extra money you can pick up as many hours as you want. The kids are awesome to work with. Most staff are really great. You feel like you're making a difference.

Cons

The scheduling often doesn't line up with what time you're scheduled. Very often you'll have to wait a half hour to an hour after your scheduled time before you're able to leave. It's paid but still, it sucks if you have to be somewhere after work but are stuck waiting for someone else to get there. Also the insurance sucks

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. The important work that we do at Evergreen supports the lives of so many individuals and families in need, and we’re happy to hear that this work has impacted you. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students, our Staffing Policy mandates that there is always a sufficient level of personnel on duty to fulfil the Minimum Staffing Requirements. The required staffing ratio must meet specified levels, which can sometimes result in staff from the previous shift remaining on duty due to circumstances that are beyond our control.
