Pros

Working with ITs and Teachers who have lots of experience in the field of Autism & other learning disabilities.

Cons

Management did not have clear expectations. Meetings were run by staff that were "supervisors" by title but could not probably translate what needed to be said from upper management. This resulted in miscommunication and lots of misunderstandings. I did not get paid for the first 3 weeks that I was working because I was "training". However, during my training, sometimes, I would be on my own after 10-15 minutes of supervision. What was amazing about this place were the ITs and Teachers. They were able to help me with all the children and knew what each child's strengths and weaknesses were. With regards to taking data and graphing, the director and other supervisors always changed the method every so often which was frustrating. Parent's are also kept in the dark and if you told them the truth, sometimes you would be reprimanded even though there was no communication towards what should be said in terms of the progress of that child. This is not a good place to work with the exception of the children and non-supervising staff. Also, your pay cheque will never be accurate and sometimes will be missing hours which will not be reimbursed unless you heavily pursue it.

Pros

I've been here 6 years and now have built up two weeks vacation and can request off pretty much anytime I like.

Cons

Management is a joke. The poor children that come here have nothing to do all day and are bored!
