Fantastic Clients, Managerial Support Lacking

Pros

The best part about working for MAC is the impact that you can have upon a child's quality of life through improving their skills and through teaching them how to exhibit self-control of their problem behaviors.

Cons

There is very little support for employees in positions of management. Lots of micromanaging and a lack of concern for the trickle down effect that fast, large growth can have upon clients. Lack of flexibility for staff in combination of lack of support results in high rates of turn over.

Pros

The only pro is helping the children to achieve a better quality of life, which can me rewarding.😊

Cons

* Management standing up for the leads, not matter if they're right or wrong. * People like to snitch, so be careful and trust Nobody! * "1" half hour break ALL day, which is unpaid. 😟 * Lots of "mandatory" meetings with little notice * Very clicky, reminds me of high school 😝 * Children bolt, flop, bite, poop their pants and have behaviors 😬 * You're with your child "all" the time! If you need a bathroom break, you must find a therapist that is willing to watch your kid. At times, I've asked 3 therapists, and nobody would watch my child. * Very challenging and tiring to get children who are non verbal to do their programs. It's usually due to a behavior, or they just don't want to do it, which is mentally waring on the therapists. * Physically exhausting having to chase a kid down the hall, or trying to pick one up off the floor when they flop down. Also, having a kid kick or bite you is a 'stress' all on its own. 😖

Pros

Helping improve the lives of these children and their families is the most rewarding and only positive thing about this place

Cons

No support from supervisors, their only solutions are handing out coaching memos. No support from HR, if you go to her regarding an issue then it might as well be your last day as there is no confidiality or professionalism. No support from CEO, only interested opening more locations and never has more than 2 seconds for anyone unless you're in her "circle"
