Low pay and injuries that will last the rest of your life - Teaching Assistant The Faison Center Employee Review

Faison is a very dangerous environment with a lack of support, which leads to more frequent injuries. I have sustained severe tissue damage from bites, and have even needed surgery due to multiple other injuries. The students are wonderful; I worked at Faison for two years because I didn’t want to leave them. There is no support from admin. The newer buildings are gaudy for the purpose of image, but actively cause sensory overload for many of the students. Working at Faison took a huge toll on my physical and emotional health. When I was hospitalized for a physical injury, all that admin cared about was when I would be coming back to work.
