Pros

The kids are great and so are some co-workers

Cons

NECC paints this beautiful picture of their team oriented workplace and it couldn't be further from the truth! They DO NOT value their employees...you are dispensable and replaceable. Your supervisors will tell you that they are "advocating" for you, which is simply untrue. On top of all this, the pay is incredibly low. I know they will write back and say "Salaries are set by the state" and again...this is not true! They gaslight each and everyone one of their employees into thinking that they are cared for and supported and it couldn't be further from the truth. Open your eyes and get out of here as soon as possible!

We are sorry to hear of your concerns. There is no denying our teachers can encounter challenges with their role, but we provide our employees with great benefits, training and knowledge that will allow them to excel at a career within NECC or at any opportunity in this field. We wish all current and former employees the best in any future endeavors. Thank you for dedicating three years to helping improve the lives of children with autism at NECC.

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!
