The New England Center for Children Reviews

Current Employee – been working at The New England Center for Children full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Many professional and specialist on site to assist with implementing and developing behavior plans to aid in the life improvement of those diagnosed with ASD. 5 weeks of paid vacations.

Cons – It sometimes feels like you never leave work or that you are ever "all caught up" on your work. You need to love what you do to do what we do at this center.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at The New England Center for Children

Pros – Young, fun staff; the kids are excellent; good place to gain experience and do research with ASD population

Cons – If you are not planning on getting a degree in ABA or Special Ed, don't bother. The awful schedule (nights and a 12 hour shift on one weekend day) and low pay aren't worth it

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the people who are with the kids everyday

Current Employee – been working at The New England Center for Children full-time for more than a year

Pros – The job is very rewarding with great opportunities to learn the basics of Applied Behavioral Analysis .

Cons – The employees at New England Center for Children are often spread too thin resulting in injury from aggressive episodes from the children at the school. The tier of management results in misconstrued messages to employees. Human Resources relies heavily on the direct supervisor's perspective of employees in possible promotions and program changes.

Advice to Senior Management – Upper management, although is involved in the behavior programs of the children, should pay closer attention and provide more detailed reviews of employee performance upon submitting them to HR.

Former Employee – worked at The New England Center for Children

Pros – Free lunch! Cheap health insurance. Work with many people out of college.

Cons – The children can be terrifying--commonly sending teachers to ER. You have to schedule ALL of your 4 weeks of vacation at the beginning of the year!! Long shifts. Terrible management. Pay is not nearly enough for what you have to put up with day to day.

Current Employee – been working at The New England Center for Children

Pros – Vacation time is fantastic, who else (besides public school) will give you 5 weeks of vaca right off the bat? Also, graduate school tuition reimbursement is hard to come by in this economy, which makes NECC a great place for new college grads.

Cons – I am currently finding that it is difficult to transfer between teams. Fortunately, this problem only occurs once per contract year.

Advice to Senior Management – I currently feel that some people get more recognition and praise than others that deserve it just as much. It makes me feel less important and less appreciated, which I'm sure isn't true - but it would be nice to be noticed more often.
