Pros

The kids are awesome, flexible schedule, you gt to be on your own for the most part, making a difference in the lives of children, opportunity for growth, tuition reimbursement

Cons

You are not taken out of a home when the family makes you uncomfortable, they completely mislead you about the hours (I was hired full time and almost never had more than 20 hours on my schedule which eventually resulted in them taking away my health insurance), there are no paid days off and you are not reimbursed when a family cancels on you last minute, Its extremely hard to make your hours because people constantly cancel on you and your paycheck suffers greatly, compared to other companies you are not paid much for mileage, you have to buy your own toys which you need to do your job and the company doesn't reimburse, all women at the bottom but men advance quickly and upper management is all-male for the most part.

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 .
