Pros

Clinical Supervisors are very proactive and very supportive.

Cons

So many... MSome of the leadership team lacks people skills and the ability to actually manage processes. They lead you to believe that there’s an “Open Door Policy” but... no one here actually listens to employee feedback. IN FACT, anyone here can confirm that when you speak up, you’re walked out of the door. There is no clear point of contact when policies aren’t being followed or when systems aren’t being implemented correctly. We supposedly had an HR Team but I’ve been told by a former co-worker that the HR Team is pretty much powerless/useless. Missed lunch breaks, lots of talk about “collaboration” during the interview process but supervisors don’t like to collaborate, they just like to delegate and everyone else is just doing what they can to keep a job. The CEOs care about money. So quality is pretty much out of question in a lot of cases. ABATs have the most unorthodox training. Luckily, I’m a fast learner and had a background in this field so I made it work. Upper Management hires anyone to do the things that they can’t or don’t feel like doing. Every wrong decision they make is reflected upon our day-to-day. Pay and benefits... A JOKE — if you have dependents or a spouse, the benefits are terrible. If you want to gain ABA training but aren’t necessarily looking to become a BCBA, do not work here. They dedicate most of their resources to Master’s students and still pay them below market average.
