Pros

The services provided to the families is LIFE Changing! Everywhere you go, you will meet families that receive ACES services and always are thankful for the positive changes our programs have on their children. From the administration to the Clinical team, everyone is so nice and helpful. ACES is a nurturing environment and encourages personal growth. Now is the perfect time to join the company, as they are expanding like crazy. Great opportunity for new grads/current college students to get their foot in the door of a psychology career. ACES also promotes further education by paying for your BCBA, which is going to be mandatory going forward in this industry. (You do have to be with company min a year before they will consider paying for this)

Cons

On the Administration side not a lot of room for growth or salary increases. Because the company is growing so fast they are experiencing the normal growing pains. This is not a good environment for people who do not handle change well.

Pros

The supervisors there were all nice and approachable. Everyone usually had a smile on their face and willing to help (if they could). Seeing results!

Cons

Supervisors are way over worked! The expectation is way too high! Everyone's always asked about their "billable" hours. Supervisors have way too many cases to manage in comparison to "ALL" other ABA agencies out there. Travel time and administrative time are not factored into the the supervisors time. Supervisors work way beyond the work hours and DO NOT have a life. ACES wants their employee's life to be ACES and get upset when employees have a life outside of ACES (e.g., upset a certain employee can not attend a fund raiser event). Travel time is calculated into the supervisors salary which should not be the case. No other ABA agency does this but ACES! ACES has a lame amount they claim for travel time but how they came up with that number is beyond me. Usually companies will tell how much they pay per mile! BEAs work just as hard as supervisors but are paid less. BEAs are not able to help supervisors because they are just as swamped with about the same caseload! Management can not support staff the way they want because they are so swamped with juggling their whole schedule around to get their hours in. In the end, the BIs are left alone and untrained. SV meetings are too overwhelming because things are "always" changing every month that it is hard to keep up with something for more than 2 weeks to a month. ACES has a ton of angry families because of the turn over rate (which is the main compliant) and training of their BIs. We're were told the CEO is compassionate and loves people but from the looks of things, it's hard to believe it. Seems like she loves the money more!!

Pros

Caseloads have a cap. I currently see mainly clients where my credentials and certifications are most utilized!You aren't completely overworked as the other big name companies. Utilized where you are needed, degrees and certification means something, higher pay for higher and greater qualifications. I love the CEUs that we are able to receive in order to keep our certification current.

Cons

Lack of training, lack of simple organizational tactics, random inner office politics and gossip that ALL companies experience. Would like to attend mor clinics outside of the office, but as a group, and not just solo.
