Pros

Higher face to face rates than some other ABA companies The occasional really great client/family

Cons

Will hold hours over your head and only give them to you if you never say no to them but if you ever object they will make your life really difficult They will often tell (not ask) BTs to open up their availability but they will be so quick to flag a BT for trying to make any changes to their schedules or availability that suits them Constant work reviews and will find any excuse not to not give you a raise Will get you as close to full time as possible without getting you at full time so they don't have to pay benefits and even if you do get full time its hard to keep your schedule consistent enough to keep benefits Tried to put on a show with covid protocols but would frequently encourage therapists and parents to still run the session even if concerning symptoms were shown and then would flag people if they still canceled in compliance with written protocols Try to brag about employee appreciation but dont actually care much about long term employees unless you are friends with higher ups Often treat BTs as expendable but then wonder why there is such high turnover Prioritize the money so much that they will overwork and disrespect employees, families, and even clients just to get more billable hours in The policy of having to be on call for 2 hours after a client cancels is awful. You will get flagged if you refuse a reassignment during this time, even if it comes 10 mins before the 2 hour mark You go into fill-ins with zero information about the client, their programs, or their behaviors which can be extremely stressful Your non-therapy rate is minimum wage so dont expect that you will have much of a safety net if clients cancel

Pros

Competitive pay, paid drive time, technology package provided.

Cons

Horrible work life balance, unrealistic caseload expectations with no support from regional clinic director when asked. Felt like just a cog in a massive machine with no sounding board to contribute input company wide. Expected to use cookie cutter programming because caseload expectations are huge. Micromanagement without any opportunity for feedback or professional development as promised.

Thanks for your input. Our organization prides itself on treating all employees with the utmost of care, respect and professionalism. It is part of our ethical code, and explicitly stated in our Employee Handbook. With regards to training, we provide a comprehensive training to every single hired clinical employee. Even those coming with years of experience are required to complete our Initial Training Program, which consists of a minimum of 40 hours of didactic training. Beyond that, at the technician level (entry level), new hires are placed in the field with clients, ALWAYS accompanied by either a Case Manager or experienced Behavior Technician (BT) or Senior BT. Over the course of 6-8 sessions, each new hire is trained, hands-on, in the various aspects of what will be their job, including data collection, running skill acquisition programs, managing behaviors, and parent training, to name but a few. Our extensive training is among the most touted elements of others' reviews, as the vast majority of our staff (coming with experience) have never seen such comprehensive training given at the very start. From there, managers and supervisors provide weekly supervision to our BTs, offering praise for things done well, and helpful suggestions for what needs improvement. This quality supervision is yet another highly commented "PRO" often found in our company's reviews. Best of luck.
