Pros
Plenty of overtime opportunity. Resume builder.
Cons
This position is physically demanding and there is no work-life balance at all. I spent my off days mostly catching up on sleep. The hours really take a toll on your body. The work environment uncomfortable and tense due to favoritism and micromanaging. I never got positive feedback for my work. The unit opened in August of 2019 and no one has hired people specialized in working with autistic children to join the team, so it’s alarmingly understaffed. The staff was basically thrown to the wolves without the proper training for the clientele. The clients don’t have all the resources they need for their development so they suffer the most at the end of the day. Management is unsupportive to their employees and gossips about them.
