Pros

-If you are right out of college and looking to be in a either the Simmons or WNEU grad program its a good place to be. -Good place to work if you're new to the area and young, as you will meet tons of people -Great place to work if your a boy -The kids are great -By far the best pro..the cafeteria at NECC Boston. Great selection of food.

Cons

Where do I start. - People are promoted throughout the company often times based on favoritism, rather than merit. -You either become a NECC robot and listen/do whatever you're told, or you get blacklisted and receive negative feedback frequently, and have zero chance of moving positions. -No one thinks for themselves. Nor are you allowed to. -You WILL get blamed on any injury you incur from a student. -Supervisors can often be extremely unprofessional. Lot's of catty people - Salary, for what is expected of you. -They don't like people that stand up for themselves or go against the grain -So, So many loopholes in the contract to their advantage. (Take the time to read it) - You are in a rotating door, they really couldn't care less if you leave or stay. You are easily replaced -They make you feel guilty for being/calling out sick. -Staff constantly complain about NECC on shift, but are passive and suck it up if they want any chance of being promoted. This leads to a general vibe of negativity and unhappiness - Sadly, they don't care about their employees at all.

Pros

The kids are the best part. It's good for those who have little to no experience. They pay for a masters degree.

Cons

Lead Teachers have no training in managing people. The lead teacher sits at the desk all day on their phone, eating and micromanaging. It's not really a school schedule. You must be present for 8 hours even if the kids are not there, and you have no other work to do. You get only 2 random weeks off in the summer. The pay is not worth it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are grateful for the direct care staff who work with our students every day to bring out their potential. Our lead teachers have many administrative responsibilities, working with each student's team of clinicians, parents, and liaisons that may not be visible to other staff. However, if you have performance concerns about your lead teacher, please share it with your clinical supervisor. Thank you for all you do!
