I was hired to address training systems within the company. My role was literally director of clinical TRAINING. I spent about 2% of my time on training activities and the rest doing caseload management, something I could not have been clearer during interviewing and onboarding that I was not looking for. Senior management doesn't include any clinical professionals and it's clear they don't understand the ABA industry. Their expectations and plans are unachievable (like trying to onboard 40 new clients in less than 6 months, but forgetting to hire any additional BCBAs first, keeping in mind that they currently have 3 BCBAs across 4 clinic sites with full caseloads, and they're unhealthily reliant on part-time fully remote contract-based BCBAs), but you'll be treated as though it's your fault when you can't succeed. Forget about communication or clarity or even a response to a question. They don't want help or feedback to improve - they've already sniffed their own farts enough to decide they don't need that kind of thing. They're making a string of short-sighted, profit-motivated decisions because they're in "financial survival mode." It's red flag city. AVOID.
