The Arc of Loudoun

Would never return to this job. People need to know how terrible this place is before they even apply. This job was extremely stressful and they are very micromanaging. Loved working with my cubby loved my educational lead and Program director. Upper management is terrible. The worst is the supervisor of related services named Melissa. She is the nastiest individual I have ever met in my entire work life. She talks down to instructional therapist and is very short when you speak with her. I have no idea why she has a job and how she is allowed to talk to staff that way. If it was not for the students I probably would have stuck up for myself. Moving forward I put in my two week notice and there was a summer break coming up. They were so petty that they couldnt even pay me for my break which they were supposed to. I never got in trouble at this place and did the best I could everyday. Did not feel appreciated at all and everything was work work and work. I did not take action because I was just happy to get away from this place. Lastly they do not even give sick days only PTO. If you do not have PTO they wont let you take off unless your a favorite. You also will see management promise people jobs just to keep people there soo disgusting and pathetic. They only positive thing was the students the long breaks in spring summer and Christmas.

Really neat looking place. I was checking out the buildings there and am not too familiar with all the services there.

We have absolutely had the best experience since my daughter has started receiving services at the Arc of Loudoun. Tayler and Tess have been so wonderful to work with. We have even switched our speech services to Arc recently are waiting for an OT slot to open. The professionalism and knowledge that the staff here has is so comforting and impressive. Everyone has been so friendly even if we do not work directly with them. My daughters confidence has improved so much. We are so thankful that our developmental pediatrician at Kennedy Krieger highly recommended Arc.

I heard they got a new principal so hopefully things can continue to improve here- April 2023Awful place to work. Staff is not respected and the needs of individuals cant always be meet in a timely manner. Wants to be a school but short staffing causes survival mode to get everyone through the day.
