Does NOT value employees, barely care about students

School employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The only positive thing I can say came out of my time working at Helping Hand School is that I worked with some AMAZING teachers, therapists, and instructional teaching assistants. The bad thing is that new management/upper management has chased all of those good workers away.

Cons

Current management doesn’t care about staff or students well being. They will push you to your limit, talk about you to other employees, push you to do things you are not comfortable with and hide in their offices when you are begging for help.

Pros

Good Benefits that include a 403b plan, accidentally insurance, health benefits which include a HSA or FSA, Rally, UHC Motion, etc. Opportunity to transition into other positions to expand your skills at HHC

Cons

You will noticed team members who have been there for a month up to a certain amount of years leave their positions; there could be various types of situations of their departure despite this profession is not for the faint of heart. I would say this before applying do your research on working with individuals with IDD especially Autism; there is some interesting articles and books out there.
