Pros

-lots of time off -shorter hours in the summer -decent benefits

Cons

Administration is not interested in hearing ideas and/or concerns from employees. Safety is a concern partly due to the staffing crisis. Kids are extremely aggressive and there is no support from administration when strategies do not work. Other schools are letting students go and HH school is continuing to accept students despite being in the same staffing situation. New administration talks negatively about current employees to other employees creating an extremely negative and uncomfortable work environment. Caseloads are huge and unreasonable because you are expected to cover for employees that continue to leave. Kids are on iPad most of the day because there is not enough staff to engage with them. Quality of education has gone down significantly. Red flag: Upper management asked staff to write positive Glassdoor reviews.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re so glad to hear that you enjoy working with our students. We know that at times the job can be challenging and we do appreciate the dedication it takes to make a difference every day. We’d like to clarify that our ITA's currently (at the time of this response) receive 3 personal days, paid sick time, and 10 weeks of paid time off for school breaks throughout the school year. We recognize the importance of rest and balance, and we’re committed to supporting our staff in meaningful ways. We truly value your contribution and the care you put into your work. Thank you for being a part of our team.
