Pros

Good starting company for ABA

Cons

Supervisors are unsupportive. If you are not what they consider “perfect,” they hold it against you even if you show improvement, also supervisors don’t seem to care to see their BIs grow, also you don’t get good hours unless you’re a favorite.

Thank you for your feedback. Our supervisors strive to visit each client weekly, and schedule observations in the field with each assigned Behavior Instructor (BI) at least once per month. During these observations, supervisors provide praise for things well done, and 1-2 goals for areas of growth, if needed. They are also available via phone, text and scheduled in-person meetings, to answer questions a BI might have, or to clarify an intervention. Hours are given to BIs based on their availability and whether it fits with a client’s availability. We love watching our staff grow in their career and we promote from within whenever there is the opportunity.

We appreciate that you took the time to provide us with feedback! I see that you are a current employee who enjoys working with your clients and coworkers at Behavior Frontiers. I highly encourage you to talk to your scheduler and your liaison manager about your desire for more hours so that they can support you with this request.

Generally good but some major issues that can't be overlooked

Pros

- They provided thorough (and paid) training which was amazing and prepared me for solo work with clients - They had a lot of nice perks like an employee incentive program and company socials - The supervisors were generally supportive and available to answer questions/concerns - There were incredible opportunities for advancement if you were interested in pursuing a life-long career in ABA (ex: discounts on graduate programs) - Of course the kids were great :)

Cons

The biggest downside was the hours. I feel like I wasn't given an accurate representation of the schedule and hours I should expect upon hire. I went in hoping to make a livable wage but even with a second job, I couldn't afford my bills. Even if I had been able to achieve "full-time" hours, they consider 30 hours full-time which is crazy considering most companies consider 40 hours full-time. And while the hourly rate for direct behavior therapy was competitive, that was only a fraction of my working hours as I had to spend hours and hours in the car every week. Drive time was paid at a different rate (minimum wage) so between that and the inconsistency of hours, it was just not worth it. For example, if one of your clients was gone all week, it was rare to get those hours made up and if they were, it was in the office which again is paid at a much lower hourly rate. All in all, if this is a supplementary income for you, great, this job will work well for you and I think you will enjoy the company but if you plan on making this your primary source of income, its almost impossible to get by. I was a newbie to the industry so maybe this is the nature of private, in-home ABA...but I just wish they would have given me a more realistic picture of the work before offering me a position.
