Training at all levels is abysmal. BCBAs are thrown to the wolves and told they have a masters degree, figure it out. During my first day of training, I was working direct with clients I had never met, with no company training. The CIO at this region has no management skills. She never answers questions or gives support. When BCBAs ask for support, they are told just to “advocate for yourself .” She is rarely in the clinic, moves meetings with BCBAs around constantly, and although her job is to make life easier for BCBAs, she does nothing helpful. She often sends passive aggressive texts in the group chat. She constantly talks over BCBAs and interrupts them when they try to talk to client parents or each other. When offered feedback, her reaction was to raise her voice and speak over me.
