Pros

Working with clients/students with special needs can be difficult, but Jacob's Ladder goes the extra mile to take care of their staff and clientele. It is a very welcoming environment with very helpful and caring people. If you're looking for any kind of work in this field, Jacob's Ladder is honestly as good as it gets. collaborative, fast-paced, meaningful, mission-driven, rewarding, humbling, and plenty of room for growth and creativity. It's everything you could ever ask for from your employer.

Cons

Pay isn't a dream come true but it's fair when you consider what competitors in the area offer for the same work. In general, special needs providers are not very wealthy and usually aren't in this line of work for the paycheck. You'll need to weigh the pros and cons for your particular situation.
