Pros

The mission of this company and the work the staff do is to be commended!! Don't be mislead by negative reviews. I never understood why if you don't like where you work you stay particularly for folks with a masters level education. You can find another job why stay. Maybe they stay because they are not very good. Well it is those people who hurt the outcomes for children.I love the work and the people I worked with. The company is a true not for profit. No stockholders only people who have devoted their lives to helping children. I applaud the veteran staff at the Menta Group they do an excellent job with limited funding from the state. They devote each and every day to the children. For those of you who sit behind a desk and clearly do not like the children move on. You do harm every day you stay but leave with grace and style, don't harm the staff who work hard every day to make a difference in the lives of children. Have a little class and honor!! Stop taking money from the children!!

Cons

The company needs to work on holding people accountable. There are staff who sit around, don't like the kids, don't want to work. Our principal sat behind her desk most of the day, clearly doesn't like the children or the staff. Why can't firing these folks easier.

Kid First Company

Pros

This company is always thinking of the kid first and ensuring that they individualize to every student. They are on the cutting edge of educational strategies and always looking to implement research based best practices, they are not just "checking boxes" in order to be compliant. They have constant PD for all staff and are always willing to jump in and assist, from the top down. Their pay scale is competitive with district pay, which is not always seen in private schools. They are the epitome of what non-profit agencies are designed for. Coming from a public background there are many things that I have enjoyed being employed with Menta. I like how the beuracracy is non existent in comparison. I have really enjoyed how the administration problem solves as a team and changes can be implemented without having to jump through hoops. My favorite thing of all, it is not about money, it is about the students and what the student needs. Having a SPED degree offers many opportunities for me, as we know there are more openings then qualified teachers, and I have no intention of leaving this organization. Although we do not get a "lunch" per se, we are with students the same amount of time as the public schools. Our planning periods are before and after school, which I have also enjoyed because it allows for collaboration amongst all staff. Overall the environment of the organization and my building is fantastic! Nothing in education is perfect but Menta is doing what is best for kids all the time.

Cons

A small amount of my colleagues..... They are good with our kids but terrible with other adults, which I can understand why the organization holds onto them, but they drive me crazy!!!

Pros

Overall good environment to work in. It is easy to feel supported by administrators and staff around you. I like that ideas and opinions are taken seriously, even if it is from an entry-level employee. There's definitely a sense of community within the organization. If you put in hard work and they feel you are capable, they will help pay for further education.

Cons

Sometimes there are disconnects between schools and administrators which causes confusion among staff.
