      Pros

      There isnt a single positive when it comes to this place.

      Cons

      I have a lot of experience in this career field and worked a few years at Chileda. In my experience, staff safety was a serious concern — I was injured frequently, sometimes every couple of days, and the work caused me significant stress and emotional trauma. Management often ignored or misrepresented concerns, based on what I personally witnessed. I would not recommend this school/facility to families, and I would not personally enroll a loved one there. I also would not work there again if my life depended on it.

We’re disappointed to learn that your experience included concerns about unprofessional behavior and the pace of training. A respectful, supportive workplace is essential to our mission, and we recognize that a drama-filled environment or unclear onboarding can be frustrating.
