Pros

1. The kids are great—easily the best part of the job 2. RBTs are some of the most hardworking and undervalued people in the company 3. Occasional lunches (inconsistent but appreciated) 4. Dress-up/theme days if that matters to you 5. Decent place to get initial ABA experience before moving on

Cons

1. Corporate leadership (including operations and executive leadership) feels disconnected and ineffective in supporting clinic-level staff 2. Pay is below market across all roles (RBTs, BCBAs, and management) compared to other ABA companies in the area 3. Advancement is heavily influenced by favoritism rather than performance 4. If you’re not part of leadership’s “inner circle,” growth opportunities are extremely limited 5. High turnover across all levels, despite claims of strong tenure 6. Work-life balance is poor for most roles outside of corporate 7. Minimal support for frontline staff—expect to operate without consistent guidance 8. Culture can feel political and exclusionary, which pushes people out quickly.

Pros

Amazing kids - I love and miss working with them Overall parents are super sweet Coworkers are friendly

Cons

Management - don’t talk to you until there’s an issue and blame RBT for issues Low pay for level of work Spent more time cleaning the clinic than doing programs Switched kids around so much that it is upsetting for kids and parents I was working in-home and with a child who did not have many reinforcers in the home and had trouble getting him to engage in activities but was trying. Instead of getting additional training I was told to figure it out and I didn’t feel my supervision was helpful as the BCBA would just sit there. I was trying to not force the child to do anything he didn’t want to while also doing the program but when I brought up my perspective is what pushed down and not listened to. This company is not good ABA.
