Demanding, draining work.

Pros

The Guild for Human Services is staffed with people who genuinely care about helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live fulfilling lives. The employees are supportive of one another, and I haven't seen any instance of neglect.

Cons

With that being said, this job will physically and emotionally exhaust you on most days. Yes, they are fun moments with the students. However, you will be forced to restrain students who are ill-behaved every single week. Students will often refuse to follow directions unless prompted. The educational quality at the school is rather mediocre. To be fair, this isn't the fault of the educators or The Guild. Most of these students don't have the capabilities to undergo a rigorous learning process, and the teacher assistants are glorified babysitters. They rarely learn anything in the classroom, and social interaction amongst the students is entirely nonexistent in some classrooms. As a result, this job can be immensely frustrating at times.
