I have been working at this workplace for some time now, and I must say that there are several drawbacks that make it challenging to stay motivated and productive. For starters, there are no lunch breaks or breaks in general, even when working for eight hours straight. This can be exhausting and detrimental to our health and well-being. Moreover, it's often hard to get bathroom breaks, especially if you have kids who are not comfortable transitioning to different rooms. This can create additional stress and discomfort, which can affect our work quality and efficiency. Another issue is the constant schedule changes, which can make it hard to plan our personal lives and maintain a healthy work-life balance. The constant understaffing exacerbates this problem, as we are often stretched thin and unable to keep up with the workload. Additionally, the pay is low compared to the demands of the job, which can be disheartening and demotivating. We work with kids for five-hour sessions, which is longer than other ABA centers where sessions are 2-3 hours, making it more challenging to maintain our focus and energy. Furthermore, the bi-monthly meetings are often long and grueling, with no lunch breaks provided, which can be frustrating and exhausting. Lastly, there is a heavy overturn of both staff and leadership, which can create a sense of instability and uncertainty. Overall, while there are some positives to this workplace, such as the opportunity to work with kids and make a positive impact, the cons outweigh the pros, and it can be a challenging and stressful place to work."
