Pros

Working at FirstSteps was a great experience. I started as an Instructor and then promoted to Lead Instructor within the 1st year. I received extensive training since day one and throughout the 3 years I work there, plus the training department is fantastic! The atmosphere is very positive and the company culture and staff are always professional. The Program Directors are very knowledgable, offer constant support and are open to your ideas when discussing treatment options. And of course, if you love kids, this is the place to be. It was a truly rewarding experience to get to work with children and their families, and to know that you are a part of that kid's progress is invaluable. Best Job ever!

Cons

This job although rewarding, can get tough, this job is not for the faint of heart! Make sure to always seek support and keep an open communication with your Program Directors about any challenges that arise so you can work through them together. Other than that, I only have positive things to say about FirstSteps.
