Pros

good benefits, 5 weeks paid vacation. This is a good place to start working after undergraduate

Cons

Looking around the staffing there are not many if any POC. that being said there are zero people of color who are past the entry level point. NECC caters to rich. white. Children. if you are a POC this is not the place go you. You will have culture clashes many times. Most The the employees are sorority girls. the salary is so low, when I finally got a new job I was getting paid DOUBLE what I was making at NECC, just for another entry level position, I was shocked to see this is what people actually make in the real world. The CEO knows we make too little and literally has said “what did you expect as a teacher” which tells me that he heavily undermines the work that teachers do at NECC If you are a “yes-man” this is the place for you. Sticking up for yourself and saying “no” to more work is frowned upon is definitely frowned upon even when are already loaded with work.

NECC works hard to establish a healthy workplace for people of all backgrounds. In fact, our employees come from 26 countries and we serve children and families around the world, having worked in 19 countries. We celebrate our diversity and care very much about ensuring our teachers feel supported. Thank you for sharing your experience. We are looking for helpful, constructive suggestions to improve our work environment. Tuition for students at NECC is funded by public school districts. We offer the best teacher salary and benefits we can for a special education program that is funded through local public schools. We also supplement salary with the option to earn a heavily discounted graduate degree. Together, our salary, graduate training opportunities, and comprehensive benefits (medical, pension plan, 5 weeks vacation, etc.) provide a competitive compensation package in the field. - Rachel McGrath, Director of Human Resources

Thanks for leaving a review! A big part of our mission is to help aspiring teachers and behavior analysts get the training and advanced education they need to help as many children with autism as possible. Thank you for taking advantage of our free graduate school and we wish you the best as you contribute your talents to a new community that needs people like you!

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!
