Pros

The benefits are the best thing about this company. Their health insurance is top notch if you have a family and kids. Tuition reimbursement is another great perk. Making a difference in a child's life and knowing you had a hand in helping them succeed in either learning something new in school or help them learn a new life skill.

Cons

The pay: for being someone's caretaker and being the backbone for the company the compensation is not close enough to what we deserve (even our School's principal has said it in our meetings). We are paid to change diapers of teenagers, wipe them clean, shower them, shave them, brush their teeth and while your doing that they have behaviors. Now these vary from child to child but I've been punched, slapped, bit, headbutted, spit on, peed on, and defecated on. And that's all for a whopping 9.75/hr. The training: their training techniques have caused more injuries to staff and have seemed to cause more and escalated behaviors in the children and if you don't follow the right techniques you get written up and could be accused of abuse. So it makes you not want to help out in crisis situations. The favoritism: It doesn't matter how well you do your job or how deserving you are, you will be passed up for promotions and higher raises if your not buddy, buddy with the managers. You could do the bare minimal and skate by but kiss the right butts and get promotions, while others bust their butts and pick up the slack for everyone else and get passed up.
