Pros

The people. Truly the most lovely and supportive place to work. Everyone wants everyone to do well and to work together to help our incredible kids. You want in the Center and you just feel good.

Cons

Schedule changes when kids are out sick but that is to be expected when working with children. There is an assigned scheduler at the ready to re-route you or to have you support center based services, so it all works out. Just need to be understanding and remember that the schedulers are literal rocket scientists!
