Pros

1. Autonomy: Working at ESS affords me the opportunity to work with families and children in ways that align with my professional training and values. I do not feel micro-managed in any way shape or form which I find refreshing. 2. Clarity of Expectation: As an employee, I appreciate having a clear understanding of the expectations of my job. ESS provides a clear outline of what is important for me to do while also giving me latitude around how to do those things. At the same time, if I have questions or concerns, there is a clear path available to me as to how to get questions answered and guidance toward my understanding. 3. Values: ESS has values clearly laid out regarding what they value in the work we do. These values are reference regularly with checks and balances in place to keep them in the forefront of our work. Contradictions arise at times but those are navigated and grounded in the values-based system that churns the ESS engine of implementation and support. 4. Hours: I really appreciate that my employment follows a school schedule and that I get to have time off throughout the year to regroup and focus on my own professional development and self-care. 5. Employees are invited to complete surveys openly and honestly about their work experience, to bring to light any issues or concerns they may have and/or to present a suggestion they may have. This open communication is encouraged and never punished. The upper management team seems to work to address concerns and ideas proactively helping to contribute to a feeling of being in a safe work environment.

Cons

1. Working in a school is like working in a living petri dish- we are in close proximity to germs, viruses and what-not daily. The PTO days provided aren't always enough to cover the time we may need to recover from the illnesses we are subject to being in a school all day every day. 2. Clear expectations and a path for moving up in this hierarchically focused company are not easily available. A person can feel stuck in their position.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review of your experience as a Clinical Program Coordinator. We truly appreciate the care and reflection you put into your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you value the autonomy, clarity of expectations, and values-driven culture at ESS. Creating an environment where clinicians feel trusted, supported, and aligned with meaningful work is incredibly important to us.

At the same time, we sincerely appreciate you highlighting areas where we can continue to grow.

We also recognize how important it is for team members to see clear pathways for professional growth and advancement, and we are continually evaluating how to strengthen transparency and development opportunities across the organization.

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.
