Pros

Big, fun and beautiful center!

Cons

The company operates in a way that feels far more focused on protecting itself than supporting either its clients or employees. Staff are required to submit a 4-week notice in order to receive their earned PTO payout, yet employees often feel pressured or pushed out before that payout can happen. There is a significant lack of client-centered care, with decisions appearing to prioritize company policies and profits over the actual needs of clients and direct staff. Support from leadership, especially CDs and some newer BCBAs, is inconsistent and often inadequate, leaving RBTs feeling unsupported and overwhelmed. Employees are also not compensated for downtime between sessions, despite many other ABA companies offering clock-in/clock-out systems that fairly pay staff for their time. Burnout is extremely common due to constant policy changes, unrealistic expectations, and a general lack of appreciation or care for RBT well-being. New rules seem to appear weekly with little communication or consistency, creating a stressful and unstable work environment.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We truly value our staff and the dedication they bring each day. We understand that working in a fast-paced environment can be challenging, and we encourage team members to raise any concerns with their supervisor so they can be addressed directly. We remain committed to supporting our staff and continuously strive to ensure they feel valued, supported, and equipped to provide the highest quality care.
