ACES ABA reviews

You'll get sick from kids a lot. Overworked and underpaid BI. Overworked supervisor, they can't help much because they're rarely there for you. Minimum wage for training and traveling. One way. They stationed me in a area all by myself, so I can't take any days off because there is nobody to cover me. 6 split-shift days a week with no holidays off. The supervisors were supposed team-up with the BI once every 2 weeks for data collection, evaluation, and provide any materials you need. All the SV's were behind schedule, if not weeks then it would take them a month for the next visit. You'll find yourself making your own materials at home for your own clients. Very high turnover rates, new recruits every week.

The technology sucks. The timekeeper gets things wrong and you have to take extra time to make sure your hours are corrected, the vacation/time off app doesn't work sometimes, not enough sick time, not enough paid holidays, meetings don't get deducted from your billable expectations so you have to make those 3-5 hours up per month, driving a lot, and while not ACES fault, the autism field isn't able to keep up with the demand. When my clients lost staffing (many therapists go back to school- yay!) and we didn't have enough staffing to replace the therapist who left, my clients had long waits to get restaffed, also when they called around to other agencies they were told it would be a long wait. Not a good work/life balance, many late nights and weekends. Managers told me work rarely interferes with their personal life but I'd receive emails at all hours of the night. Scheduling tries to get people regionalized but you're still driving a lot.
