Pros

Robust suite of support staff. Many speech therapists, behavior intervention staff, physical/occupational therapists and behaviorists support and augment academic departments. Training is provided for new hires. I never felt as if I did not have the training or assistance to deal with any situation.

Cons

Less than 40 hours a week and high cost of living in the area in addition to no pay on breaks and holidays means that despite a decent hourly rate, actual compensation is lacking. Facility is chronically understaffed and some programs have been halted due to COVID and have not been restarted.

Pros

Paraprofessionals treat students with respect and care.

Cons

I don't know where to start. The job could have been rewarding, but the people running the company made it way harder than it needed to be. Most days were stressful because communication was all over the place and nobody seemed on the same page. Training was weak, support was limited, and a lot of times you were just expected to figure things out alone. Some leaders acted like control freaks and watched every small thing while bigger issues got ignored. They have their favorite people and do not care about others and some staff could be disrespectful for no reason. The pay was low for how much was expected, especially on the harder days.
