Pros

Huge company where you can have a variety of experiences in the field should you choose to move around They push grad school-good tuition reimbursement Students are awesome If you are into ABA, they have very good resources for this

Cons

Management uses intimidation as a tactic People play the blame game when something bad happens, and then try and take all the credit when something good happens Pyramid business model (they only hire up from within) Extremely binding contract Very short staffed and little thanks given to those that work tirelessly to cover the open shifts They try to use ABA on their employees by enticing us with food and raffles...should probably just pay better Use food as a motivator for students...constantly.

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!
