What is the best part of working at the company?
The experience taught me what red flags to avoid in future workplaces

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was dealing with leadership that lacked knowledge, support, and professionalism.My experience at this organization was extremely disappointing. I put in significant effort, shared my knowledge, and completed the work they needed  only to feel used, unappreciated, and abruptly let go once they had everything from me.

Leadership created an environment where employees were undervalued, unsupported, and often dismissed. The workplace was unorganized and chaotic, with decisions made by people who lacked the knowledge to lead effectively. I also experienced behavior that made me feel discriminated against and unprotected.



What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment was so toxic and unorganized that simply showing up became stressful. This is not a supportive environment.  Strongly encourage anyone considering employment here to read reviews carefully.

It was completely awful. They were extremely unorganized, everyday was chaotic. Every day it seemed like nothing was planned, it felt like they made everything up as the day went on. Lunches and breaks were never scheduled, sometimes during an eight-hour shift (8 - 4:30), I wouldn't get my lunch till around 3 pm. 
  
They didn't provide any training on how to do anything. I was expected to help members use the bathroom and was not provided any training on how to do that. I was also expected to help with lunch and snack time, but I was not provided with any dietary restrictions so I was unaware of who could have what. I was supposed to be helping with teaching "classes" and doing activities but I was never provided with materials to do so. 

Management was never around to help with anything and was very hard to get ahold of. I had applied for a part-time position but I was forced to be full-time, whenever I tried to talk to management about this issue they were unavailable.  

this job was my first job in Childcare. This place suffers significantly from common problems with American childcare. We are constantly understaffed for the amount of children we have and are otherwise under resourced to properly take care of our children. That being said, this work place has a number of people who are very good at their job and thrive in an challenging environment.
I recommend this job to anyone who feels confident in their ability to manage a classroom of 10 mixed age students alone. If you can do that and get along with your co workers, you'll be a great fit.
As a first job in childcare, this can be overwhelming. I often felt inadequately mentored by my coworkers. To be fair, it's hard to teach how to teach.

There's nothing better than going home at the end of the work day knowing you've made a difference in people's lives, and working with a great group of coworkers with a shared sense of purpose. The supervisors care about the employees and work as hard as any of us. As a matter of fact the CEO works harder than anyone and is super approachable! We're all a team, each doing our own little part, working to make a better, more respectful world for people with disabilities of all ages, birth to end of life. 

A typical day at Easterseals Washington is both fulfilling and dynamic. I've learned the value of teamwork, compassion, and adaptability. Management fosters growth and listens to feedback. The workplace culture is inclusive and supportive. Through various initiatives and programs, Easterseals Washington actively contributes to improving the lives of individuals and families across the state. The most enjoyable part is seeing the direct impact of our efforts on the community.

Typical day was organising activities for up to 30 people with a variety of special needs, preparing drinks, food and taking care of personal care. Ensuring all medication is administered at correct times. 
I learned a lot about myself as a person, learned that I can throw myself into something and be confident in being able to do it. Learned a lot about peoples needs and disabilities. 
Hardest part of the job was lack of sleep!
Most enjoyable part was organising successful activities which all campers enjoyed.

I was contacted by the CEO and VP of HR. After several interviews with them, and learning about the mission of Easterseals WA, I saw all the potential that the organization can make to create, help and provide to our undeserved community members with physical and developmental challenges. I joined the team and I can say that I feel great to know that we are part of the change.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company is amazing. What they do and provide is essential. However, I was the only one in my county and was not given the appropriate training to do my job and often felt like I had little to no support due to the fact I was a singular person away from the mainstay of the office. Other than that my experience was great. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of support was my main issue with them. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As a whole the company was friendly and welcoming.

Great place to work for the summer. Working with campers up to 7 at a time. Very kind and communicative director, who is always willing to help and understand Special Education techniques and conflict resolution. He mentors the students and teaches them how to grow. It teaches you leadership skills, and counseling techniques in training and hands-on experience. Great place to work if you are considering being a teacher, nurse, leader, or counselor.

Great chances for advancement, working in lead teacher position or as a floater helping out in classes infant-pre-kindergarten. Most enjoyed part of the job was seeing how happy you could make the students that you worked with. The hardest part of the job was the workplace management. But, this was made a difference in individual teachers creating their own community to work together and help each other.
