Pros

The clients were the only aspect of the job that made it worth going into work!

Cons

Poor management structure partly due to existing nepotism! At first the structure and work place seemed great, but as this quickly faded. Atmosphere quickly changed to feel as though working in a Big Brother setting. Change over of staff exceeds any place previously worked in.

Pros

Good learning experience in regards to the methods of ABA and working with the Autism community. You grow attached to the students and become very close with co workers

Cons

Lack of leadership/maturity in the management, No consideration for the employees in regards to mental and physical well being. 18 hour shifts with no breaks or sleep. Only those the management likes will get any training or professional development.

Pros

Melmark has an excellent reputation within the educational community. The work they do there is indispensable. You can get hired with little experience as long as you have a strong educational background or a strong desire to work with developmentally disabled people. Salary begins relatively high. Most employees and management are younger making it a possibility to move up quicker than other companies. Melmark is a great step up forward for your career.

Cons

Staff injury is a daily occurrence, if you can get over that there are still more cons to consider. If you work in Residential you have to work a double (7am-11pm) once a week, and it's usually Saturday or a Sunday. The staff tend to have cliques. If you aren't in the "in crowd" your day can be even more difficult. Counselors are expected to be very detailed and almost error-free, but the management is messy and disorganized themselves. Everybody is overworked.
