Pros

Tests your limits when it comes to your ability to work around ambiguity and sudden changes (for better or worse). This is a place that will force you to grow if you stick through it. I will say that your experience will largely depend on which school you're placed in.

Cons

1. High workload Large volume of responsibilities with frequent competing priorities. Can be difficult to maintain work-life balance during busy assessment periods. 2. Fast-paced and reactive environment Priorities can change quickly. Last-minute requests and urgent issues are common. 3. Limited training in some areas Employees may need to learn processes independently and become productive quickly. 4. Heavy stakeholder management Requires constant follow-up and coordination with multiple teams. Success often depends on getting timely responses from others.

Pros

I have a small caseload (for better or worse). The organization has money so you are not paying out of pocket for materials, fidgets, stickers, etc, and it's both a pro and a con, basic behavior management is really emphasized to be a teacher's responsibility. Counselors are seen as behavior experts who should focus most of their time on mandated counseling, students in crisis, etc.

Cons

The hours are really long, the pay isn't the best, and honestly the organization is run like a business with the kids and their grades as the product. Mental health is extremely low on the priority list. You can only see students during the "fun" non-academic times of the day. Counselors might be asked to do extra non-counseling roles because the turnover rate for all roles is so high. There's also no personal development/supervision for counselors and no pathway for us to advance anywhere.
