Pros

Working with children, in house training, flexible hours.

Cons

I was with the company for two years before leaving. The first year and a half was great under the original founder, however there were still some clinical management issues. There was a lot of favoritism such as individuals who are not qualified in experience nor education being moved into clinical management positions. Many of the mid level managers and lower level supervisors were very unprofessional. Once the founder left it only got worse, the quality of services steadily decreased in order to increase profit margins for those at the top. Most of the more reliable/professional clinicians and behavior technicians left with the founder. And scheduling was constantly a disaster - don't ever count on what the schedule claims because it will not hold true and the individual will be held accountable to last minute changes.

Thank you for the feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees, so I’m disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We are proud and value each of our staff members, which is why we are rolling out various training's to promote professional development. Team consistency is tricky for all autism service providers, but we have made enhancements to our scheduling protocols to help alleviate last minute changes and promote consistency within every clinical team. We are also proud of our BCBAs and other High Level clinical staff...to our knowledge we employ the largest amount of BCBAs for Center-Based services in Fresno County and are constantly looking to add amazing talent to our team. Best, William Forath, MBA Founder & CEO California Autism Center & Learning Group
