EdTheory is an experienced contracting agency specializing in special education in the school setting. I have worked the majority of my career with the EdTheory team and have very positive things to say for them. They are considerate and understanding to a personal level but stay professional and highly reliable. This is a diversed team that understands and respects cultural differences and needs. Comparable compensations and they provided additional support to the employees during COVID.

Pros

Accommodating, supportive, comparative benefits, reliable, consistent, open to communication

Cons

Less social and company events after COVID

Flexible schedule, no benefits, low pay

Liscensed Practical Nurse (Former Employee) - San Francisco Bay Area, CA - November 16, 2022

Great job for a new grad and if you're interested in working in a school environment. Flexible job to have while currently in school for advancement opportunities. Unfortunately, there is no growth staying here with limited experience to gain. Huge turn over in recruiters.

Flexible and very accommodating schedule, work/school balance

Licensed Vocational Nurse (Current Employee) - Concord, CA - August 29, 2022

I am a new grad and I've been with EdTheory for almost half a year now and it's been great. I've been able to manage balancing school, work, and life working with them. I don't receive benefits/insurance because I work part time which is one of my cons to working here, but I do get a higher rate per hour because I don't get benefits which is fair and a pro to working here. If you work full time you can receive benefits and insurance but with a lower rate per hour. The management is very kind, communicative, and helpful. My breaks are short and I need to commute to other sites during my break so it's not really considered a lunch break in my opinion. Overall, I enjoy working here and working with the kids.

Pros

flexible schedule, work/school balance

Cons

short breaks, no benefits for part timers

Plentiful Opportunities

BCBA (Current Employee) - Manteca, CA - June 24, 2022

I think that there is a lot to be said but also not enough. Communication is good but could be a little more straightforward and clear instead of hurrying through phone calls when an employee has questions. The pay range is fair, medical benefits could be slightly better, and the HR is quick in replying to emails.

Pros

Quick HR answers

Cons

Unclear information or quick phone check ins

SLP (Current Employee) - San Jose, CA - March 23, 2022

I enjoy working with the awesome team at EdTheory. I appreciate the accurate communication and guidance throughout the hiring process. I have received great support from the Clinical Team - training, supervision and resources to help me seamlessly transition into a school-based Speech-Language Pathologist. As an international applicant, I have received the precise information and support for all the paperwork and immigration related queries from their Immigration Department. I feel valued and supported at EdTheory, and find the environment a great one for achieving my professional goals.

Disappointed with EdT

Mental Health Therapist (Former Employee) - East Palo Alto, CA - February 28, 2022

I was extremely disappointed with EdT for placing me at a school without them knowing the situation I’m in. I feel that as part of a hiring Agency, Their job is to ensure their employee has all work equipment necessities to be able to perform their job duties, most especially if you are hired “Full Time”. This is critical at ANY job you’re hired for. I was hired by Edtheory to start a full time job as a MH Therapist at their school-based charter school in EPA. Little did I know the condition of the place I'll be working at. I had no office, no table, no desk, no chairs, I was mostly sitting shadowing another employee who worked with children who has bx issues, conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder, mostly Axis 2 type in DSM. A very challenging population to work with especially if none of these children are on any type of Psychotropics and I’m a huge advocate for medication compliance given my work experience background working in inpatient Psych ward. What a difference I’ve seen what medications do for people. However, this was not the main reason I walked out of this position. The work situation was not ideal for what I had envisioned prior to accepting the job/task assigned to me. It’s how unbelievably disorganize the school was. In another “Trailer” building they just built, where I was told I would be “stationed” at, their rooms were a complete disorganize mess and likely expect me to organize and arrange all the office desk furnitures. They did not have any maintenance people working there. There was a small room to the right as you enter and its very -

Pros

None I could think of

Cons

Disorganized, Chaotic, Lack of designated space office to be able to do your work. See clients and document.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and we are sorry to hear about your experience. As a staffing agency, our priority is to provide the best service and experience to our contractors. Unfortunately in cases like these, the organization and structure at a school partner are completely out of our control. We always advocate for our contractors and see if the situation is tenable, if not we are completely supportive of looking for redirect options or terminating the contract, with immediate effect. We take all feedback seriously and constantly look to enhance the experience of our employees. We would love to work with you for future positions and can do our best to ensure that your experience is different. Our best wishes to you!

It is an easy experience to get a response from them. You do not have to pull teeth to get guidance and direction. I highly recommend working for them.

School Psychologist (Current Employee) - Santa Paula, CA - May 6, 2021

I can seriously say that EdTheory is there to ensure your job satisfaction. EdTheory will oftentimes beat other similar agencies pay rate. They also have a clear contract with exceptionally fair statements. Their benefits are also competitive. EdTheory maintains contact while on the job. They would call me every couple of weeks to see if things are okay and inquire if I am enjoying the job. They are transparent and real. I highly recommend related personnel to seek out a relationship with EdTheory.

Pros

Pay, maintain communication, want your good

Extremely relatable and understanding!

Speech Language Pathologist (Current Employee) - New York, NY - January 21, 2021

It's so difficult to find a company that thinks of your personal goals, your independent "life" needs, and what is best for you all around, but EdTheory surprised me! At first you read the benefits and think, ok, how much work am I going to have to do or what type of micromanaging demanding characters am I going to have to put up with to receive these benefits, but nope! They truly are committed to preparing you for interviews as they are to ensuring you are interviewing with the setting that provides you with the best fit. Their committment is beyond!! I had a life changing experience during my interview process which tends to never look good because no one wants an "excuse", but EdTheory listened, and moved forward with me. Once you're transparent and they have a good idea of who they are representing, THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU! I'd stick with them. Solid, safe and secure - that's EdTheory!
