Pros

If you decide to get your masters in ABA through the program they provide, the program itself is free. There is a lot of opportunity to be promoted, many opportunities to gain new experiences, and learning is very hands-on. If you're committed to a career in ABA, this is definitely the place to start, as you will get the best experience possible.

Cons

The master's program feels a bit "cult"ish. Your instructors and supervisors are all employed by NECC, the classes you take are hosted at the central facility, and nearly all thesis participants are students at NECC. You spend a lot of hours working and being at the central facility; sometimes it feels as though you never leave. The pay is nowhere near what it should be for the nature of the work and the actual number of hours you spend working.

Pros

The kids are the best part. It's good for those who have little to no experience. They pay for a masters degree.

Cons

Lead Teachers have no training in managing people. The lead teacher sits at the desk all day on their phone, eating and micromanaging. It's not really a school schedule. You must be present for 8 hours even if the kids are not there, and you have no other work to do. You get only 2 random weeks off in the summer. The pay is not worth it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are grateful for the direct care staff who work with our students every day to bring out their potential. Our lead teachers have many administrative responsibilities, working with each student's team of clinicians, parents, and liaisons that may not be visible to other staff. However, if you have performance concerns about your lead teacher, please share it with your clinical supervisor. Thank you for all you do!
