Pros

Training felt thorough and everyone so far seems really nice.

Cons

I feel cheated. I went into this thinking it would be a full time job. To me in my mind full time means 35 to 40 hours of work. To then a minimum of 30 is considered full time but be aware that this is including your drive time. So say you work 29 with clients but have an hour and a half of drive time that week then it gets you the 30. If a client cancels you better hope someone calls out so you have coverage because you will not be paid otherwise. Their probation period of 120 days seems lengthy to me. Be aware that for holiday pay you only get paid 6 hours not an 8 hour day. My experience was that I had two clients, with a 3 hour gap in between. Then the morning clients schedule changed so I I lost that client. I did not get a new morning client for 3 weeks. Partly due to waiting on authorization. However I feel they could have offered me overlaps or something because living off of 12 hours a week is not sustainable. Also keep in mind that you cannot contribute to the 401k till after a year and there is no PTO. I went into this thinking it would be great opportunity but I feel I was conned.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that your expectations were not met and appreciate the opportunity to clarify some aspects of our policies. We strive to maintain full transparency throughout the hiring and onboarding process. From initial interviews to onboarding, we clearly outline that full-time is defined as 30 or more hours per week. This is detailed in both the offer letter and welcome letter, which employees review and sign, acknowledging both the hour requirement and that we cannot guarantee a specific number of hours each week. While we work hard to maximize client hours, some variability is inherent in our field. Please note that we do not receive reimbursement for client cancellations, so we are unable to offer pay in these cases. However, we actively provide coverage opportunities to help our employees make up for any lost hours. We understand that gaps between sessions can be challenging, and while authorizations and scheduling complexities can sometimes cause delays, we continuously work to minimize disruptions. We also work diligently to find coverage options when needed. Regarding benefits, the 120-day probation period and 401(k) eligibility timeline are standard components of our benefits structure. We provide six hours of holiday pay to ensure fairness across positions where shifts vary in length, and we are always exploring options for improving employee support. We appreciate your feedback about training and scheduling, as it helps us improve. We are committed to creating a positive environment for our staff and clients and will continue working toward that goal. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly if you'd like to discuss your concerns further.

Pros

- Strong Collaborative Culture: Everyone is deeply passionate about ABA and helping their clients. There's a great sense of shared mission and dedication. - Exceptional Professional Development: Constant learning opportunities with access to multiple curriculums, allowing you to consult with BCBAs of various backgrounds and never feel limited to one method. - Supportive Environment from Top to Bottom: Management genuinely cares about their staff, actively working to ensure BTs receive excellent support and feel comfortable in their work environment. - Transparent Incentive Structure: Clear, well-defined criteria on how to meet bonuses. - Abundant Resources: The company provides helpful tools and resources to keep you organized and set you up for success.

Cons

Self-Management: This role requires a high degree of autonomy. Success and sustainability depend heavily on your ability to self-organize, manage a demanding schedule, and set firm boundaries to prevent burnout. Meeting hourly requirements may require coverage sessions. - Management: Some clinical supervisors are still completing their own higher education, which can sometimes lead to gaps in oversight and support. - Compensation Structure: BCBA pay is competitive with the market. However, the pay scale for Behavior Technicians (BTs/RBTs) could be higher. Offering more incentives for BTs would acknowledge their vital role and help attract and retain top talent for this crucial position.

Pros

The training was thorough and you learn a lot. The salary is okay, but could be better! The AI data with Hi Rasmus is awesome.

Cons

HR is very unpleasant to work with if you ever have to work with them. Unprofessional and unclear. Not understanding of circumstances and would send follow-up emails of things that “we discussed”, but never actually talked about or agreed to.
