Pros

Coworker atmosphere and hours. Great place to start but should be temporary just to get experience. I worked there tei years in the Norwalk,CT location i thought it was a great move and starting out it was but as staff dynamics changed so did my viewpoint. Great because of the holidays abd breaks you get.

Cons

Lack support and understanding for a work/life balance, pay is minimal for the work you do. Management very harsh toward employees. Lack of resources. I also believe they dont encourage students to truly grow from their disability. Passing grades are easily given. Appreciation of staff very limited. Treat staff like kids instead of adults. This is not a place for people with families and children because. It is for those who just received their bachelor's degree not really for you if you have higher degrees because growth is limited or non existent. Time off is limited. They expect school breaks and holidays to be enough time off so you don't get vacation as a one to one or teacher just 6 sick days for the year and 2 personal days.

Pros

My supervisor was supportive, attentive, and respectful. Her weekly meetings were helpful, and supplies were ordered promptly.

Cons

Our funding was abruptly cut by the government. I was given no warning. All communications ceased from that day.

Pros

- Small groups allow strong focus on growing your instruction and differentiation skills - Exposure to multiple grades builds deep understanding of skill progression - Ability to drive meaningful student growth and maintain strong relationships

Cons

- Unstable pay and low job security (hourly, contract, funding-dependent) - when we're off for a break, or unexpected snow days, you do not get paid any of those hours. you don't know if you're hired for the next school year until mid/late August. title 1 funding cuts make the job unpredictable (significantly cut down hours with no notice- Friday notice, effective Monday) , and not secure. Hourly pay seems good until you realize you will almost never work a full 80 hours/paycheck - Heavy paperwork and misaligned responsibilities - Limited support for professional growth or leadership development - Some of the worst benefits packages I've ever seen - next to no employer investment in retirement and employer is very limited in health benefits contributions
