Pros

Growth opportunities, trainings, great support staff and the students!

Cons

Had to fight to take a lunch break, constant gaslighting and manipulation from administration (who also love to play favorites). Work load is tremendous with little to no time to get it done during your day - overtime without pay is just expected from lead teachers and you're looked down upon if you value your own time. Staff constantly putting themselves in danger to work with the students and rather than giving any sort of positive feedback, they wait until you've done something wrong to reprimand you. My educational administrator used to sit in her office all day even when I was calling for her to help with a dangerous situation where we were under-staffed. Ridiculous and unprofessional place.

Abuse

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.
