Pros

None. The negative aspects outweigh any potential benefits.

Cons

(1) Described as fast-paced, but it's actually poorly managed. Minimal training is given, yet high performance is expected instantly. More touchNgo than genuine onboarding. -- (2) Working with special needs kids need patience, skills and consistency but rarely get the support to do it well. This place acts like your well-being is your own problem. That’s why people burn out so fast. -- (3) Expected to deliver high-quality therapy, manage behaviour, track progress and deal with parents all with unrealistic expectations and barely trained. -- (4) Critically short-staffed and the pressure just gets dumped on whoever’s left. -- (5) Expect people to stay long term, but too stingy to offer anything worth staying for. Always going for quick, short-term fixes, so don't be surprised when the outcome is just as short-lived. You get what you give. -- (6) Blaming everyone but yourself. That’s the norm here. Forget accountability, gaslighting is the habit. -- (7) "Errorless learning" is sacred for students. But when staff make a mistake, it's treated like some kind of moral failure and you’re on your own. -- (8) Too much reporting here and there, yet communication still fails. -- (9) Most superiors aren’t real leaders, just survivors of the broken system. That’s what gets passed down. This place teaches survival in chaos, not career growth. -- (10) Turnover rate is very high. People don’t stay because it isn’t built for sustainability. -- (11) People keep leaving, one after another. Every time someone does, morale sinks lower. It's hard to stay motivated when the only thing that feels consistent is the exit. -- (12) Don’t trust the good reviews here, unless you take advice from psychopaths.
