Pros

Compelled to share my experience at Balance Autism for future applicants looking to apply. The pros of the organization: - The opportunity to advance quickly due to high turnover. Depending on the department. - Making a difference for the person served, children and adults with Autism. - 8% match on a 403 B - Non-profit experience

Cons

The cons of the organization: - The lack of proper training – this is very essential in a direct care role as this has put employees safety at risk. -Management/ Senior leadership -Low compensation -Horrible culture -High stress environment with employees working almost 50+ hours per week depending on the position The first few months of employment with Balance Autism was great, however, with the change in leadership it became very apparent that the organization was no longer head in a direction that I could support. If you’re looking for “experience” this is the opportunity for you, but if you’re looking for a career I suggest looking elsewhere.

Pros

You can start work on ground level and learn more about autism as well as more about leadership and gain the ability to lead within the company. The leadership team seeks out and acts on the information received from our staff and stakeholder surveys each 6 months. They look at the feedback for ways to improve . The agency is invested in building opportunities for people with autism to receive services that are shown to be effective for people with autism. A huge piece of that is working with and communicating with families.

Cons

Sometimes the hours are long. Especially during periods of staff shortages. It is sometimes hard to balance all of the tasks of the job into the session.
