Pros

The actual work is very rewarding. The children and families that you'll work with almost make dealing with the company worth it. Flexible schedules are available and Beacon provides opportunities for advancement and education.

Cons

If you're an ABT or BT your pay will be inconsistent at best since these are fee for service positions. Supervisors vary depending on region but mine was unsupportive, at times rude, and nearly impossible to communicate with. People are given management positions based on clinical licensure and certification alone rather than actually having skills necessary to manage people. There is very little support even though working in homes can be physically and emotionally draining. There is no respect and no appreciation for those in ABT or BT positions. In these roles, you are replaceable and the company treats you as such. I would never recommend working for Beacon, unless maybe you're in a salaried position.

Pros

The families are usually wonderful. Parents are often invested in helping their children learn. You help students learn cognitive skills, daily life skills, play skills, and social skills. There are opportunities for you to help students within the community, at daycares, and in toddler groups. You do have overlap with assistant behavior therapists which is helpful for on the job training and keeping lesssons consistent. It's highly rewarding to see each individual student's growth. Working with children on the spectrum in their homes is a rewarding experience.

Cons

They claim you will work 40 hours weekly but that is inaccurate. You often have huge gaps in your schedule and end up waiting between students. Management often will not return calls or texts in a timely manner, if at all. There is a huge amount of paperwork your expected to complete however you only get paid one hour of "collateral" for every five hours you work which mean a lot of unpaid hours completing paperwork. There is no paid time off or vacation or sick time. If you wish to take a vacation you have to either lose the hours or make them up at a later date. The same concept applies to if you get sick. They do provide benefits but you have to work 30 hours weekly but your hours can greatly fluctuate weekly due to cancelations or inclement weather. If you have a cancelation you often lose the hours because finding another student to fill in is difficult with such short notice. They do provide an opportunity to go to school but you pay half and it's highly expensive. And there's no promise to move up in the company.
