Pros

Willing to negotiate base pay,

Cons

Not great pay or benefits and poor PTO. You would be much better off working directly for school district. Beware of their no solicitation clause (non compete)!! Would not recommend.

Business Outlook

Pros

I needed a job that paid well, had flexible hours, and that was meaningful. And Stepping Stones helped me do all those things and more. They went through a 2-week training and CPI certification process that I was paid for. And anytime I had questions in the field I was only a text/call away from my case manager that was really helpful in plenty of situations. Gave me an iPad and opportunities at benefits like health insurance and scholarship opportunities through a program with Purdue online.

Cons

The job can be very demanding and if you are asked to sub for different schools/at-home positions it is sometimes hard to know exactly what you are stepping into even when a case manager gives you a summary of what to expect. The company is very large and the need for BTs is very apparent. Many of the schools I worked in had people who were extremely burnt out, from different companies, and it was sometimes hard to nagivate situations in that environment.
