Pros

I worked at the company for almost a year as both an Instructor and Lead Instructor. Overall FirstSteps for Kids is a great company and I only have good things to say. I had little experience in the field and so it was great to receive the amazing training I did. Not only do they focus on theoretical training, but they also do overlaps and ease you into running sessions independently. The staff with more experience, especially the Program Directors, are incredible and are always willing to help. Communication within the staff is also a positive of this company. They are also great with working with you in terms of hours and location. Support in terms of wanting to advance in the field is always there as well. This company is truly amazing and I would definitely recommend it and come back in the future.

Cons

Other than the complications that come with scheduling, there are no cons.

Pros

Training staff-very compassionate trainer, always provides consistent support and knowledge. Leads (most of them) are the backbone of the company, one of the leads is absolutely excellent and goes out of her way consistently to support and offer direction/advice etc. -Bcba’s that have been there for a while are great advocates and helpful

Cons

SCHEDULING. So many people leave due to consistent issues with the scheduler. Lack of communication with schedule changes, pushing cover sessions on instructors who aren’t comfortable working with kids, unprofessional communication, forgets to schedule breaks and lunches, wrong locations tagged on sessions etc. Although moving up levels is easily attainable, the pay rate is low for expectations. -kids come in sick and aren’t sent home -parking pass required but isn’t factored into the schedule unless you request it
