Pros

School hours is the nicest perk; you can work two jobs to cover up the lost income from working here.

Cons

This company keeps adding on more and more responsibilities to the individual clinicians and coordinators but doesn’t adjust salaries to reflect that. They claim you work school hours/schedule but you have to work in the summer doing made up busy work that the regionals should be doing. The documentation is out of control; it honestly takes hours to do and it must be done weekly but there is no time during the week to get it done. There is a surprised monthly audit where they just look for things to flag you on (and within your district you could use the same wording as someone else in your note. For you it’s an issue and for that other person it’s an excellent note. It’s the same auditor). The regionals run around like a chicken without a head and complain they are so busy but they sure aren’t doing the basic parts of their jobs: weekly in person supervisor with their clinicians, monthly principal meetings and meeting with admin; what are they doing day to day? They also claim they have the same pto as us (7 days including your sick time fyi) but some how my regional was always taking weeks off for a vacation. They allow the schools to add on more and more because they are afraid to lose the contract but again do nothing to support the people who are actually carrying these contracts on your back. They also plant fake positive reviews; it’s know in the company that your regional may ask you to go give some positive reviews to keep their rating to a certain point and drown out the true reviews.

Pros

Decent pay and school schedule plus full time pay over the summer is definitely a pro. You get to make a difference.

Cons

It is a toxic work environment. Lack of communication. Lack of care for workers. Everything is for the numbers. Will do anything to protect and to save contracts at all cost even if it means sabotaging you. Many in supervision and RD positions fail to uphold obligations and undermine efforts. Not so good place to get hours for licensure.
