CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

YAP is big on family and community involvement. They are really focused on providing services to clients in school to limit behaviors. Teamwork and support from coworkers is a big plus while working for this company.

Cons

No advances with pay unless you have a Masters. TSS's do not receive any benefits, retirement, sick days, or paid time off. Also, hours during the summer are terrible due to no school and lack of home hours.
