Business Outlook
Pros
You can really impact children's lives on a daily basis. There is a tight community of staff and educators that collaborate to improve skills of Special needs children. Most of the management advanced from classroom positions so they understand needs of the classroom and most tend to be very involved in the IEP and educational process. Paid time off is huge benefit!
Cons
Pay is lower in education anyway and pay at Spectrum is not competitive for the challenging work you do. There have been some major changes in the last year. Teacher salaries are quite competitive now and classroom assistant positions have seen significant increase. But they need to do better in order to reduce turnover and retain the passionate and trained staff.
