Pros

Employees are friendly and positive; company provides iPads for "easy" data collection and analysis; great playground area for clients both younger and older; high regard for client safety; can bring dogs to work on days when clients aren't present

Cons

Understaffed and overworked management team; supervision, planning, and communication is poor within the company as well as with clients and funding sources; there are very few systems in place to support staff; expectations are often unclear or are not lived up to; training is often lacking even for the programming (ESDM) and technology (electronic data collection system) the company brags about (which means it is often utilized inefficiently if not ineffectively; very little unity among the different but related programs and activities. The executive director asks a lot of employees (volunteering for fundraising, acceptance of huge changes effective immediately without discussion, full availability when he wants/needs you) without giving much in return (aside from "thanks" that seems insincere)

Thanks for your review. We are pleased to announce that since the time of this review, we have grown our company significantly, and are adequately staffed and managed to the point that we are moving to a larger facility in the Lakewood area come this summer. We have good communication between managers and employers, provide an awesome work life balance (15 days of sick leave, 11 government holiday closures, on top of many other paid days off), and have also updated our data collection technologies to better align our mission and goals!

Pros

As a new employee I appreciate Firefly Autism's employee-centered engagement as it pertains to feedback, onboarding, and overall consistency with progressing the company forward for employees and clients. The admin is extremely supportive and transparent with company communication while leading with empathy.

Cons

Technology could use a refresh. We've been informed this is something being looked at immediately.
