Pros

They provide you with health insurance and a completely paid for master's degree. That's it

Cons

They care more about keeping students in the program than them becoming independent They don't actually apply ABA therapy, as many of the students behavioral tantrums can be easily remedied with good application of ABA They have outright lied to the government during audits, and have "subtly encouraged" (threatened) their staff to do do so as well Make their employees start work early, but they don't pay them for this extra time. Any suggestions as to how to better the children is immediately squashed and you are labeled as someone who "disrespects authority" If you are injured it's your fault Poor review if you dared to call out sick when you were actually sick Poor reviews on your performance if you don't pick up overtime

Pros

The kids are the best part. It's good for those who have little to no experience. They pay for a masters degree.

Cons

Lead Teachers have no training in managing people. The lead teacher sits at the desk all day on their phone, eating and micromanaging. It's not really a school schedule. You must be present for 8 hours even if the kids are not there, and you have no other work to do. You get only 2 random weeks off in the summer. The pay is not worth it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are grateful for the direct care staff who work with our students every day to bring out their potential. Our lead teachers have many administrative responsibilities, working with each student's team of clinicians, parents, and liaisons that may not be visible to other staff. However, if you have performance concerns about your lead teacher, please share it with your clinical supervisor. Thank you for all you do!
