Pros
Great coworkers, good supportive environment, decent enough pay, fulfilling work. There’s often some trouble getting hours solidified at the beginning, but it doesn’t take long for your caseload to grow. Also, if you’re not getting many hours at first and you have 20+ hours available every week, ask about Total Start!!! It’s a program that basically just gets you more practice and more hours while you wait for your caseload to grow, and from what I’ve heard and seen it is a really great opportunity!
Cons
Pretty high burnout, and honestly I feel like the pay could be a bit better just with how draining and sometimes difficult it can be. I’m considering taking on another job that is less intense so I can have some mental and physical recovery time off of that job while still making the money I need to survive. If I work 40+ hours a week at TS I am making a sustainable amount of money, but I am struggling to swing that many hours there while also being a student. If you’re used to working with kids though, especially kids with varying levels of energy and developmental abilities, you’ll kill it:) ik this is the cons section but overall I like the job a lot and have already recommended it to friends in my field
