Pros
Most of the line therapists are amazing with the kids, and devote every minute of their day to teaching them.
Cons
I worked there 3 years, and the last kid I worked with was veryaggressive. Biting, hair pulling, punching, etc. I gave my job a 1 month notice that I would be moving states, and gave them my last day to mark on the calender. One day my student grabbed me by the hair, and pulled out a large chunk of it. I worked with my lead to implement a safety plan that was working, and for two weeks the child had not hurt anyone at school. I worked one on one with this student for 2 weeks after that last aggression, and the CEO suddenly decided the student was "too aggressive", and told the parent THAT DAY that the student could not come back to BIG. No warning, the parent now had to figure out who would be watching their kid while the parents work, and find a new school for kids with autism. I still had 2 weeks left before I was leaving the company, and I let the CEO know that I'd be willing to work with my student for those 2 weeks so the parent could make arrangements for her childcare. The CEO told me no, and said I could go home, that I was no longer needed. I insisted that I needed these last 2 weeks of pay in order to move. The CEO begrudgingly let me work my last two weeks after I had to schedule a meeting to argue my case. Not only was the CEO inconsiderate to the parent of my student, but they were inconsiderate to their own workers. This incident is one of dozens that my fellow coworkers suffered from. All the CEO thinks about is themselves, and how they can grow the business. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.
