Pros

Learned tons about the type of environment and community that I want to work in and be a part of.

Cons

Abuse is happening everywhere you look. When you bring it to upper admin, they sweep it under the rug and pretend like it’s not happening. Go work here if you want to be a part of the exact reason there is an Anti-ABA movement. Couldn’t handle watching my clients being abused all day every day. Nevermind the fact there is literally no follow through with any behavior support plans or any basic human rights. Clients going days without being showered, left in their soiled clothes for hours upon hours at a time, refused food, illegal restraints being used regularly by upper admin; the list goes on. Most traumatic experience I’ve ever had at a job.

May Institute has been a great place to grow and enhance my career. I started in an entry-level position over a decade ago and have been promoted along the way to a direct-level position. They have fostered my educational and professional growth with highly-qualified supervisors and meaningful collaboration. They value employees well-being and satisfaction.

Cons

The work can be challenging, but the people are amazing!
