Fulfilling work, but not because of MissionOne.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

*Flexibility on choosing work location. *Fulfilling work.

Cons

*No formal training. (You learn dos and don'ts via word of mouth) *Too many employees assigned to one supervisor—very little contact or actual supervision given to individual employees. *No information given about child's abilities prior to assignment. (I understand there are legal reasons, but maybe a week before school meet up is in order.) *Supervisors do not know (or know very little) individual students being cared for by hired staff. *Little understanding about taking days off (when this is a position designed to have substitutes readily available.) *Little urgency to find substitutes if one does not fill the slot. *20 hours of outside training required each year to continue working for MisisonOne (besides online modules, nothing is provided or suggested. You're pretty much on your own.) *No performance-based raises offered. *Employees feel like warm bodies rather than valued professionals.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is experiencing fast-paced growth with a very promising future. It added 60+ new clients in one year and that pace looks like it will continue. A lot of people are able to move up to new roles and even across departments. Management believes in investing in employee growth and creating opportunities for corporate employees to work long-term.

Cons

Some growing pains that are the product of such rapid growth.

Racism is a major problem in most of the school districts that employees are told to expect.

Pros

Flexible schedules that you determine. Can cancel an assignment without questions. Remain professional always for good experience. There are opportunities to get long-term assignments or you can choose to work Perdiem

Cons

Low pay. Most of the teaching staff in the schools are very angry they're not the type of people that you really will enjoy working with unless you are also an angry person
