Work Life at the Evergreen Center - Residential Instructor Evergreen Center Employee Review

Nice doing a job where you know you are needed. Students are great even if hard sometimes. Families are very nice to staff. Women in charge is great. Not many places where the boss knows your name and show interest in you, is willing to drop things and help you, asks about your family and stuff like that. Very welcome feeling. They try to show you your work matters and is appreciated. Nice bonus at the holidays.

Sometimes need to work extra hours without a lot of warning if someone calls out. Can be a little cliquey.

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.

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
