Pandemic interview process, This interview process was different due to COVID but although I wasn’t able to meet the interviewer in person I felt very comfortable in our conversation and informed on what the position would be like.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What were some on the reason I applied for this position
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amego (Attleboro, MA)
Interview
Very low pay. Inaccurate job description. Was told I would get bitten and attacked by the students pretty much every day. Seems like they do not hire qualified people for the position. During the interview I was also given a tour and shown a “time out room” which was a completely padded room with no light or windows that they put the difficult students in. How disturbing. Is that even legal? After reading the interview process on Glassdoor, I wish I had never applied. This isn’t the first time this company has gotten extremely negative reviews. Their response calling someone who wrote a review ignorant tells me all I need to know about them. Very unprofessional
It sounds like you would not be a good fit for our organization. We do, in fact, hire qualified staff and have an extensive training program for those looking to enter the field. Our behavior plans are monitored by professionals with the credentials and licenses to ensure the safety and well-being of the students we serve, some of whom need a room to deescalate before they hurt themselves or others. Our program is accredited by The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and we are proud of the gains our students make during their time here- our school offers them the opportunity to learn when they have not had the level of supports they needed to stay in the public school setting.

Very easy process. Received a phone call and heard about the agency. Came in a met with a manager. Received an offer about 1 week later and accepted. After that, you are given an orientation date.
