Pros

The company has an extensive benefit package including healthcare, tuition reimbursement and 403B. The disabled children/adults here will tear at your heartstrings. They will reach out for love and attention which is easy to give to them.

Cons

I was hired to be a Head Special Education Teacher. I came to the company with an advanced degree and experience. I accepted the job expecting to be fulfilling the job requirements of a teacher (writing lessons, writing IEPs, conversing with parents, giving institution) only to find out during orientation that my main job requirements would be restraining students, trying not to get injured, changing adult diapers, going to the home to act as a home heath aide, cutting up food etc. If I had gone into the position knowing I would be doing this then that would be one thing, but hiring someone under false pretenses is wrong. I expressed concern over the duties presented to me during orientation. On a Friday I was thrown into a conference room and let go. They basically threw me out of the place without much explanation. I attempted to follow up with an email which was never replied to. It was the most bizarre experience. If you are seeking to be a special education teacher here, understanding that you will not be doing much that has to do with education. You will basically be a health aide to severely disabled adults and children. You will not only work at the school, but also in the homes.

Pros

The students are amazing, maybe a few staff are.

Cons

They advertise that they pay for your education? Well that is if you sign a 3 year contract and they don’t fire you a month before that. They have screwed over more Employees then any other company. They also like to demote and move staff around to keep you there longer. This company will under pay, understaff and will push off all responsibilities. They need to just just clear out all upper management besides Scott and Judy. Other then them it is all done on personal preference. Personal bias is all the rest of management uses. Often leading to positions being given to the all the wrong staff. They will blame staff for everything and then fire even if it is totally uncalled for. They are always short staffed leading to staff being hurt. Then will punish people when they are hurt by demotion, moving them or just waiting till an evaluation comes up and then finding a way to put them on a corrective action plan or just firing them. Staff there expect to be fired when being called to a conference room on Fridays, that’s how bad it is. Nothing changed they just create nee potions with no real power to make it look as if they are doing something to correct problems when they are just doing it to make it look better.
