      Genuinely Traumatizing - Teacher's Assistant May Institute Employee Review

      Pros

      There are some really sweet moments with the kids, lots of opportunities for growth within the company

      Cons

      I had to go to therapy after this job, it’s extremely dangerous, you will be physically abused on a regular basis and sometimes sexually abused and put into uncomfortable and inappropriate scenarios with the children. You will be gaslit and told that your injuries are your fault for not blocking or being in the right position. The healthcare and workers comp is terrible and they are stingy with PTO. The employee turnover rate is horrible, I’ve seen people start and quit on the same day. Plus, while you are technically allowed to take 2 fifteen minute breaks during the day, you will be lucky if you get one of your breaks and an opportunity to go to the bathroom. You will be doing the job of at least three people.

      Pros

      May Institute has been a great place to grow and enhance my career. I started in an entry-level position over a decade ago and have been promoted along the way to a direct-level position. They have fostered my educational and professional growth with highly-qualified supervisors and meaningful collaboration. They value employees well-being and satisfaction.

      Cons

      The work can be challenging, but the people are amazing!
