Pros

Structured work, you know exactly what youre supposed to do and how. BAs are very helpful and supporting. They pay for certification, huge plus.

Cons

Confusing schedules l. Scheduling department does not take prefered language of child into consideration which makes it very hard for them to transition. Scheduling department can take away your hours whenever they want. If you are on the guaranteed hours model there are NOT written rules available to RBTs. It is extremely hard to live a normal life because you accrue PTO at an unreasonably slow rate and can only miss if uou have PTO EVEN if you got a sub. In fact you are still asked to get a sub even if you are using your PTO. Exceptions are made sometimes but you never know when or why they might be made.

Pros

I have truly enjoyed my time at ABS Kids and am grateful for the opportunity they gave me to begin my career as an RBT. The training was thorough, and the support I received while earning my certification helped me build confidence and skills. The staff genuinely care about the children they serve, and I had the opportunity to learn from experienced BCBAs and fellow RBTs. ABS Kids provided valuable hands-on experience, and I am thankful for everything I learned during my time there. I would recommend ABS Kids to anyone looking to start or grow a career in ABA.

Cons

As with many ABA organizations, scheduling changes and client cancellations can sometimes impact hours. The work can also be physically and emotionally demanding, particularly when supporting clients with significant behavioral challenges. However, these challenges are balanced by the rewarding nature of the work and the opportunity to make a positive difference in children’s lives.
