Pros

Met some of the most amazing people in which we bonded over our miserable times here. xoxo love you guys :* Got to work with the best babies ever!

Cons

Where do I start? 1. When you get hired, the things under your job description are not equal to the tings they actually force you to do. 2. They do not train any CA/ABA Assistant properly. 3. They hire anyone. 4. MESSY,UNPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE WORKING AS TEACHERS AND TEACHER ASSISTANTS. Teachers and teacher assistants who have been in the same position since the place opened up will sit miserable and gossip about CA's and other workers ALL DAY. One teacher assistant who will know I'm talking about her is the most shady, miserable, low-life, sad excuse for a woman is so angry that she has been in the same position for 3 years but won't let management know. Instead she rather sit and hate on anyone around her who is promoted. She smiles in everyones face but the moment they walk away she's gossiping. As if she should be one to talk... I'm genuinely sorry for her and her sad excuse of a life. She only claims to be professional when she is not talking about her insecurities, boring relationship, and other people. 5. Hr doesn't do anything for employees. They say they're open to suggestions but don't make any changes. 6. Breaks are only 45 minutes long but lots of times, buses are late to pick up children so CA's have to give up their breaks. And still not get paid for 45 min. 7.Long hours, little pay. 8. New rules every week. The list can go on and on but unfortunately my fingers are literally aching from all this.
