Pros

Decent health benefits and PTO. Job security. Remote work. Helpful coworkers.

Cons

Will overwork and load you until you get burnt out. You will ask for backup and assistance but you will never get it because everyone is busy and they will not hire another person to divide the work evenly. The company was expanding but they were not hiring enough staff, and instead had hiring freezes. Pay is literally the bare minimum for Southern California and was not a livable wage. Embarrassing.

The Stepping Stones Group Response

We’re sorry to hear you felt overworked and underpaid during your time with us. Your feedback regarding workload distribution is very important, and we will be taking a closer look at how we can better support our teams to prevent burnout. If you would like to share your experience further, please contact our Human Resources Department at 866-600-7598.

Pros

It's very easy work Remote work, great to be at home and able to be flexible

Cons

They actively tell you during hiring how quickly you'll be promoted, but do not follow through when you've met the expectations. The higher-ups treat RC's like they're incapable and replaceable, and the environment is extremely toxic. We were actively told not to ask questions or talk to people in the same role. Overall extremely toxic environment that thinks pitting people against each other and tearing them down will bring results. Was severely underpaying. Shady practices when it comes to hiring on-site professionals.

The Stepping Stones Group Response

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. We take feedback on management practices and the work environment seriously. We regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations and will review your feedback to ensure we create a more supportive and collaborative workplace for everyone.

Pros

Really helpful, encouraging and responsive mentors.

Cons

The district I worked in was problematic. Stepping Stones was supportive and offered to move me to a different placement. But I think agencies are contributing to the problems in schools.

We understand your concerns about agency work in schools, and we’re always working to improve the partnerships we have with districts to support both professionals and students.
