Pros

If you want to work in special education, it's a great place to start getting experience. They prefer to promote internally so there's lots of opportunity for growth. Unlimited overtime so if you really need extra money you can pick up as many hours as you want. The kids are awesome to work with. Most staff are really great. You feel like you're making a difference.

Cons

The scheduling often doesn't line up with what time you're scheduled. Very often you'll have to wait a half hour to an hour after your scheduled time before you're able to leave. It's paid but still, it sucks if you have to be somewhere after work but are stuck waiting for someone else to get there. Also the insurance sucks

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students, our Staffing Policy mandates that there is always a sufficient level of personnel on duty to fulfil the Minimum Staffing Requirements.

Pros

The organization actively supports career growth by sponsoring postgraduate programs and providing continuous learning opportunities. Current staff are given priority and are strongly encouraged to apply first for internal job openings. The workplace fosters a multicultural environment and promotes diversity, welcoming employees from all walks of life.

Cons

On certain days, staffing levels may be low, so employees should be prepared to be mandated to remain on shift for extended hours as needed.
