Turnover rate for amazing employees

Pros

This job has its rewards for what you do for these clients BUT you aren't acknowledged from the higher management. COWORKERS ARE GREAT! GREAT FRIENDSHIPS

Cons

This job will dig you to the ground. You put so much of your time heart and soul really for the benefit of your clients improvements. The upper management is a joke and a lot of AMAZING THERAPISTS HAVE QUIT BECAUSE OF THE POLITICS. A LOT!!! I quit and sadly watched handfuls and handfuls of amazing talented therapists including OT'S AND Speech Therapists quit. It's disgusting and really really sad. The turnover rate is worse than the restaurant business....

Pros

The job itself is very rewarding and most of the coworkers are great! Most of the behavior therapists seem to care about their job and their clients but are not recognized for their efforts. I got a lot of great experience working with children with autism.

Cons

The upper management is horrible. Most of the behavior therapists, lead therapists and teachers are great but the supervisors do not do their job. Instead of providing supervision to therapists, I would hear them chatting with each other about non-work related issues (shopping, weekend plans, etc.) Even if you accrue many PTO hours, it is hard to get time off. I requested half a day off for a Dr. Appointment three months in advance and did not find out if the time off was approved until the morning of the appointment. Instead of providing supervision and adequate training to employees, supervisors often would make rude or condescending remarks with regards to how one was conducting therapy.

Pros

This was a very flexible work schedule when you had outside appointments. Generous time off and holidays - work from home on occasion SPOT team was great and collaborated across sites

Cons

Extremely undervalued by upper management, as well as limited communication. Many empty promises including pay raises etc..... Human resource department was understaffed and did a poor job manipulating policies in the handbook which led to negative effects for multiple employees. Although the productivity standards are lower and look appealing, there is TONS of extra work/meetings/paperwork etc.... that requires attention that is not accounted for.
