Pros

Very friendly co-workers, benefits after 3 months

Cons

It was perfectly acceptable for these children to be aggressive towards staff (punching, hitting, grabbing hair), and there were no consequences. It ran more like a babysitting service than a school. There were no real treatment plans that seemed to be followed other than "make it through the day and hope no one gets hurt". These are children that are removed from regular school special ed programs. The school was founded as a sort of a vo-tech, giving these children skills that would help them contribute to society. They seem to have lost their way from their original purpose.

Pros

The individuals they serve at Laradon

Cons

All of management over used staff, talked badly about employees to other staff. Kelsey was inefficient and spread staff’s information around for drama. Favorites run high throughout day program. If you don’t do your job you get praised more than if you do. Management was never present and staff did the work of multiple positions without the pay. Management would talk badly about other managers to day program staff. High school environment and poor communication all around
