Pros

Decent pay but only paid for actual time with patient. You may be scheduled an 8 hour day but get paid for less due to drive time. You do not get paid for the time you are driving in between patients which could be up to 2 or more hours per day.

Cons

This is one of the worst jobs I've ever held. I was very eager to make a difference in children's lives. Management was very nice and friendly during interview but quickly changed. Employees are spoken down to and owner is often condensending. Owner tells employees what they are allowed and not allowed to say to other employees and patients. Not allowed to have their own opinions. Promotions and job placement promises are made but not kept. If you are unhappy with anything .... keep it to yourself. If you tell management it will be held against you. Experience owner lying to employees and patients and even under oath to protect herself. I've never had problems with an employer until I worked here. High turn over rate and I can see why. Employees are not allowed to request off at all during the summer. Does not matter your reason. Employees have no paid vacation or sick time. Only paid for hours you actually are with a patient. If your patient goes on vacation or is sick you don't get paid and can actually go weeks without a paycheck. If you have 2 patients in the same day and have to drive between sites you are not on the clock during those drives. I would never recommend the knapp center for employment or services.

Pros

Amazing BCBA and coworkers. Being with kids all day is a lot of fun!

Cons

Always sick, pay sucks, and too much work to shove into tiny graphing blocks that you cannot even use half the time.
