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.

Pros

Working as an instructor at FirstSteps was the best job I have ever had; I only left to attend graduate school. The leadership here is incredibly supportive, and I always felt that I could ask questions and get help without judgment whenever I needed. The training is also excellent. I felt very prepared to work with clients, and that I received very helpful feedback and support throughout my time here. Working with my clients was such a meaningful experience; I felt that we did important work together. Plus, it was a ton of fun! If you're considering applying to work here, I would encourage it without hesitation.

Cons

It's tough work that requires you to do your very best, so be ready for that! I believe the rewards for that hard work were endless.
