Pros

coworkers and residents are great

Cons

Short staffed at the time but that's everywhere While the pay was fairly competitive at the time it still isn't a living wage for the area

We are pleased that you found working with our residents a positive experience — they are the heart of Marklund. And noting that the culture with your coworkers was positive as well is good to hear. We do want to address the point you made about the pay. In addition to merit increases and a $1.25/hour rate increase mandated last year by the State of Illinois, we have been offering an increased pay rate to caregivers at our Marklund Philip Center which will continue through June of 2025, when the residents will be moved to our newly expanded and renovated facility in Elgin. Depending on the shift our Caregivers at Philip Center can currently make up to $23.25/hr.

Pros

What truly sets this school apart is its heart. The dedication, patience, and creativity of the staff make every day purposeful. Seeing a student achieve a new skill or express joy in a way they couldn’t before reminds you why this work matters so much.

Cons

The work can be demanding at times, but it’s deeply fulfilling.
