Pros

Drinking encouraged at staff meetings Positive feedback from Senior Interventionists while training Kids and parents are extremely grateful. Schedulers are flexible with your availability. BCBA internship program in place, although they pay less than 10% of your total cost. No paper data, everything is done on iPad.

Cons

No feedback given unless you've really messed up and they decide to let you go. Numerous good therapists were let go when they couldn't pass written and verbal evaluations. Scheduling is a hot mess - you will often have to cover sessions for other staff with little to no work experience with their clients. Upper management picks favorites, making it impossible to progress in your role. If you do somehow get selected, SI positions pay only $1 or $2 more. Pay rate for RBT's is low. Unsure about BCBA's. Pay is on the 1st of every month, not biweekly. Programming is confusing and errorless learning creates frustration amongst clients. BCBAs care little about staff due to the high turnover rate.

JumpStart Autism Collective Response

Hello, thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Over the last two years we have gone through a full reorganization of the company to create more opportunities for our staff to grow in the field as well as within our organization. During this time we created positions specifically geared toward training which has strengthened our ability to give feedback to team members and provide support. We have recently moved to a block scheduling system that has significantly cut back on session coverage needed throughout the week. We also now pay our employees bi-weekly after receiving feedback similar to yours. We are always striving to be the best we can be for our learners, employees and for the science of Applied Behavior Analysis, so again thank you for your feedback.

Pros

- Comprehensive training and onboarding — far more in-depth than other ABA or healthcare agencies I’ve worked for - Clear, consistent expectations covered in training and written out - Supervisors are regularly on-site and available for support, and even if they aren't in the center for a day, they will answer a Slack or text quickly - Other more experienced RBTs and "support" staff are always willing to help or jump in when needed - The leadership seems to genuinely care about employees and kids - Feels like a team working toward a shared mission, not just a job

Cons

- The work can be fast-paced and demanding at times (but that’s the nature of ABA and healthcare) - High standards and accountability might not be a fit for everyone, especially those who just want to "do their own thing"
