      Pros

      Flexible schedule, great children and families, BCBA supervision hours, sick time.

      Cons

      Hourly rate, lots of travel, lots of outside work that you don't get paid for (reports, graphs, shopping for toys, etc). Large gaps in schedule where you have 1-3 hour unpaid breaks, difficult to get full-time hours in schedule. Your paycheck may not necessarily reflect your experience and credentials. No PTO so its extremely difficult to take time off for yourself. Also you don't get paid when parents cancel sessions. They make you sign a non-compete contract that restricts you from working with children 0-5 yrs anywhere in MA and surrounding for 1 year after leaving..

      Pros

      Beacon took me in with no experience and taught me everything I know. I went through training from ABT to BT, CPR training through the company and even began the masters program to become a behavior analyst.

      Cons

      Employees don’t seem to last very long long

      Pros

      Age range is great. Little kiddos .

      Cons

      Cancelations: lets say you drove 30 minutes ,then a text appears seeing, canceled. The company wont pay you for the drive or lost session AND your responsible to set uo a makeup session. During holiday season, alot of cancelations happen, Therfore lost hours and pay. Dont believe it when they aay" we'll put you in other cases" . They'll try but it most likely wont be available. TRAINING: If your experienced, trust me your better off in another place. The training they advertised is 2 weeks of seeding/shadowing . But nope ,thats an estimate. Some people have shadowing times for months. At a training rate. Meaning you have to stay like a shadow at a session, go to random houses and sit there watching and occasionally practice for 2 hours. This can be exciting at first, but when it goes on for weeks and weeks , your pay will be low and your previous skills are very undervalued. Dont get excited about the pay : The pay rate lured me in, but considering the amount of time they needed to "find clients" for me , and teh amount of cancelations or no place for you to go, the rate is nothing .
