Only work here if you don't have problem with ripping parents off.
Pros
I was an office manager and the salary was OK. I started out as hourly but they finally realized that everything we were expected to do could not be done in 8 hours and there was never, ever any overtime ever.
Cons
I got tired of charging desperate parents about $2,000 a week to help their child. Some parents went really into debt. In the meetings with the management (of which I was a part) everything was about sales, sales, sales. Parent pay about $100 an hour (usually for 20 hours a week for 4 to six weeks--you do the math) and the actually clinicians that work with the children make only about $12 per hour and have two weeks training. Summer is particularly bad because they hire so many college student, train them for two weeks and then have them working with students. They have weekly parent updates but they hand picked who is going to be seen working with that child when the parents come. Everyone that tests is recommended to have something. Some sort of help no matter how high they score. The School House program is a joke. The child sits in front of a computer and parents are paying through the nose for this. Homework Matters is a joke too. Four to five kids sitting around a table doing their homework with very little interaction with a clinician. Parents would do better to put their money elsewhere. Buy the programs and do it yourself. One of the company's core values is SHOW----that tells you a lot right there. Most employees (clinicians, center directors) are very young and few have a background in education or child development fields.
