We are sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations. Cancellations are an unfortunate challenge that all ABA agencies experience, and Beacon works alongside families to minimize unexpected cancellations and reschedule when necessary. To ensure that our staff is being compensated appropriately, we’ve implemented changes to improve the pay scale and benefits for our staff and offer staff who participate in outside of session administrative work with an elevated direct service hourly rate. Beacon places an emphasis on staff support and training, and we are disappointed to read your comments regarding your experience. Extensive staff training is offered throughout every level of our organization, and we have a support system in place that is designed to ensure that our team members have assistance and guidance when needed. We appreciate your feedback as we aim to ensure a positive experience for all our staff members, and we encourage you to contact us at support@beaconservices.org to further discuss your comments.

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 .
