Terrible work place

Pros

absolutely none. Do not work here

Cons

Terrible terrible company with even worse staff. I was hired as a lead instructor and promised a pay amount… they used bait and switch and then last minute changed me to an instructional aide (mind you i have a masters degree and a teaching credential). When i asked for the reason to switch, I was constantly met with rude threats of being fired if I didn’t like the switch.

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees (staff- NOT management) are wonderful. Very intelligent professionals that care deeply. Benefits and pay are at or below market value. Looks good on a resume but I think that’s changing as the perception of this place is changing in the field (providers know it’s not a good place to work).

Cons

Management is not great, its clear to everyone that they prioritize money over mental health of employees, demand late evenings, and do not consider the individual needs of the provider. When you first start working here you will feel lucky to have the job, but that will fade as management grills you to “get more clients” and “work more hours”, making you feel isolated with increasing stress levels and no perception of care from your company.

Pros

- Great staff culture (keyword: staff, not company) - Great benefits - Passionate team - Wonderful industry - Great PTO package

Cons

- Pay is below average in this market - The poor excuse for a “bonus/incentive” is downright comical - CEO is impulsive and tyrannical - Communication from leadership is abhorrent - Nepotism and hierarchy have no place in this industry - HR is very unhelpful (as most HRs are, to be fair)
