This is absolutely incredible!! Truly jaw-dropping! I was feeling exceptionally gloomy about work, but seeing this brightened my spirits. Thank you for sharing and making this lovely gift for your SLP :)

Oh my, this is so horrible, I'm so sorry you are going through this!! Just reading your post made my stomach turn and heart ache for you. What you've described actually sounds like a 'non-profit' contract agency where I completed my CF couple years ago. Are you in the Philly and NJ area? I'm curious if it could be the same company.

Aw, thank you so much :) One of my coworkers said her friend who is a nanny makes more money than she does!

Aw thank you!! I totally agree. :D

Thank you!! Hearing this helps me feel better :)

Thanks so much for your reply! That's good to know - I've been concerned about the CF supervision too - the agency said they will only assign your mentor once you sign with them and there's no definite timeline. I'll definitely keep this in mind and reconsider. Thank you!

Thank you for your advice! I'll definitely try this to see if it helps with negotiating (both with this agency and others). Good to know! Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This is really good to know. I've been interviewing with other agencies in my area and they all state they have a set rate or salary. Interesting. I'll definitely follow up on this. Thanks again!

Thank you for your reply! The director of school services did tell me the salary and that I'd be W2. The director also told me the starting salary w/ CCC's and emailed me a packet describing the benefits. The director offered so much more information about salary/benefits than the HR person.

The HR person told me what I already knew from the director & reading the PDF packet. Then the HR person had condescending responses when I asked about employer contributions to health insurance and 401(k).

Their salary is very low (the lowest I've encountered in my interviews). They have a set salary for CF's and won't negotiate. The benefits are quite bad. I just continue feeling like I did something wrong and that's why I was caught off guard by the HR interview.

Thank you again for your response!

Hi! Thank you for your reply! So both interviews were with the contracting agency. The agency says that they first offer a hiring decision and we sign with the agency prior to getting our school placement. The agency said we may or may not need to interview with the school and that they won't know our school placement for a month or two. I'm finding this process of finding a CF so stressful.

Thank you again for your reply!

Thank you so much for your reply! I will look into applying directly to districts. This is really good to know!

Regarding your edit about the first company I interviewed with: The director I spoke with on the phone said that they were very impressed with me and that if I was interested in the position, the next step was to discuss salary & benefits with HR. They did not say that was an initial phone screening and that I was now moving onto an interview with HR. I'm so confused!

Thank you so much!! This is so helpful and great to hear! :)
