Pros

They offer resources to gather more information on school-based OT but it's mostly offered during non-working hours. There is a good amount of autonomy with the position but that varies with location and school district.

Cons

The base pay for starting OT's is very low. There is little room for growth within the role and pay doesn't increase more than $1 a year. There's little support when dealing with the school districts and there is often a disconnect between contracted and district staff. Only given 40hrs total of sick time to be used as sick and PTO.
