Pros

I worked as a 1:1 ABA instructor in the Autism program. I received accurate, in-depth training for this job, which lead me to my current master's program. I also loved the teaming aspect of working in classrooms there.

Cons

The pay was not the best, and I think that greatly contributed to the high turnover which made the work environment quite stressful at times. Sometimes I think management just hired anyone looking for a job but who wasn't really dedicated to doing what was best for children with disabilities, and the difference between people who really cared and those who were just there was really apparent.

Pros

I have loved working with the children here over the last five years! As a mother myself, the pediatric population is incredibly close to my heart. I am so grateful for the flexible scheduling that allowed me to be home whenever my own kids were off from school.

Cons

The benefits package could be improved by offering better health insurance and expanded maternity leave. We should also observe Veterans Day as a paid day off to support our veteran coworkers.
