Pros
If you're lucky, you can form a really powerful connection with a student. Great high paying job right out of college. Offer tuition reimbursement if you're willing to sell your soul for 2 additional years.
Cons
Not sure where to start. Administration plays favorites. If you're not in their circle, you're not going to go anywhere. Management will lie to parents to cover themselves. I was a witness to an incident where a nonverbal student was left in a hot tub for 2 hours. When she fainted, the lead laughed and said she fell asleep. The lead proceeded to tell ER doctors that the student was only in the hot tub for 15 minutes. This place is not safe for students or staff alike. Administration makes it very clear that they do not care about their employees and that everyone is replaceable. In the residence, the scheduler will move you to houses where you do not know the students and the students do not know therefore feel comfortable with you with a few hours notice. Residential staff expected to cover school staff for government holidays, but this is never reciprocated.
