Pros
-Flexible schedule -Relatively Decent Pay
Cons
-Onboarding is a lengthy process, and is nor relevant to the work being done in each household - The company teaches you you treat Autistic children like animals, using reward systems like treats, and the methods of communicating with these children make the children out to be "less-than" the adults in the situation. - You will have many hard days (which is expected in this field), but management does not have anything put in place to help staff in these rough times. My coworkers and I often went home exhausted. -Long days without suffient materials: I was placed in one household 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. For almost 2 full weeks, we were given ONE binder of lessons for the child we worked with in-home. When the managers would come to "swap out" materials, they would only swap out one or two lessons in the hinder. The work got to be super repetitive, and it quickly burnt out the technicians, and the children we were working with. Imagine being a little kid and your only form of entertainment for 25-30 hours of a week was the same binder materials. Eventually, the child I worked with got expanded to activities outside of the binder, and management slowly became frustrated that technicians weren't spending as much time on the binders. -No guidance after onboarding: once I was placed into a household on my own, I saw/was in contact with managent maybe once a week. I rarely knew when my manager was coming into the home, and the company felt very disconnected. I saw 4 or 5 coworkers "move on" (quit) in 3 months at one point.
