Minpunten
Admin makes an already difficult job harder than it needs to be, they tell you to ask for support and then get mad at you when you do. The mission statement is awful. For a school supporting students on the spectrum, they are often clueless about what students need.

Minpunten
- Severely overworked and under-compensated. You will likely be performing frequent off-contract and unpaid work, sometimes past hours. Work/life balance becomes nonexistent if you are good at your job. - Improper safety protocols that endanger staff and students - Poor morale all year long and in every department. The only solutions given are 3d printed fidget toys and condescending seminars explaining how to care more about your job. - Very frequent nepotism hiring. Said individuals are often held to much lower standards of professionalism and rarely face meaningful repercussion of any kind for poor behavior - Severely understaffed, with high turnover rate among both teachers and paraprofessionals - Most hostile HR department I've ever worked for - Sneaky contract, will likely write you out of defending yourself from any unjust action on the organization's part - Dishonest and neglectful treatment of students for the sake of maintaining good-looking data and "compliance" - Unprofessional expectations, particularly in regards to student boundaries and use of messaging platforms
