Pros

The staff and students are wonderful. They are the reason why most people come to work! It’s a great place to gain experience but once you have that leave!

Cons

The CEO herself is terrible. She has no knowledge on Autism and every time she speaks at a meeting it’s nonsense. You can either be on a great team or a terrible team depending mostly on the facilitator you have. Most therapist are hired straight from college so they don’t have any experience. Turnover rate is high, so most times the students don’t even get the therapy time their parents think they are getting. There’s so many unnecessary positions they made up that the money could go into other important things. The instructional team they made up a few years ago seems pointless. They don’t do much expect be a body when we are super low on staff which is almost always. Field trips were canceled because the organization doesn’t have the funds for them. They are so under budget it’s ridiculous.

Pros

The staff are highly dedicated to each student's education and excel at keeping both students and staff safe. They also maintain excellent communication with families.

Cons

The higher-ups often interfere unnecessarily, taking over responsibilities instead of allowing department leaders to take the lead, and they lack the ability to guide others to success—opting instead to control everything. They also mismanage finances, frequently asking for more money, and have a habit of taking credit for others' ideas without giving proper recognition.
