Center for Autism and Related Disorders Employee Reviews about "low pay"

Pros

great mission; great office; great environment

Cons

I can't think of anything other than low pay

Pros

interesting educational experience, some recreational time with the kids

Cons

my caseload was, from the start, teens who were highest physical risk, several of whom did not communicate verbally. frequent injuries that went unaddressed or downplayed by HR, management, and were normalized by peers. very little practical training regarding best practices and safety techniques prior to being put in the field with the expectation of being able to use restraint during emergencies. often put in situations where the teens were in danger (i.e. running into the street or having a meltdown leading to physical injury) that we were expected to manage. frequent pressure to change/increase hours in schedule regardless of other commitments. low pay for the number of bruises, bite marks, and cuts I accumulated in just a few months. this company is out to make a profit, not champion the rights and dignity of folks on the spectrum or to protect its direct service employees.
