Pros
Programs really do work, children change right before your eyes, always so great to see. Not too labor intensive, hours go by quickly. Fantastic summer job for college students or people who seek part-time summer work.
Cons
Scheduling can be difficult sometimes. It changes so frequently, you can never really plan in advance for things because you only know your schedule the Friday before for the next week. The biggest negative just happened recently. The wages for employees was unexpectedly cut with virtually no notice or sit down as to why it was happening. The only notification that was received was a last minute short email late on a Friday evening. There were no meetings in advance to explain the situation or any sit downs or advanced notice. It was super unexpected and there was no warning what so ever. The company is reportedly trying to cut costs and the first method they choose is wage cut for employees when there are plenty of other methods available that don't affect the workforce. I was appalled when I returned to work only to have this dropped on me from my boss (who was the one who had received the unexpected email, none of the tutors/clinicians were sent any emails). This was handled so poorly by corporate. There are plenty of other options in cutting costs, and there definitely are proper and appropriate ways to handle a pay cut which were absolutely not exercised.
