ACES ABA reviews

The pay is horrible. Many of the people working in the field are bachelor's level and psychology majors. The minimum rate for RBT certified workers is $20/hr, despite the job posting claiming $25 for RBT holders. The bonuses (2, $500 bonuses) are only paid out after 6/12 months of services if you weren't trained and held an RBT before joining ACES. Even after completing certification, the company will keep you at a lower rate of pay. Many coworkers will tell you the only way to increase you pay is to switch companies. The benefits are only paid out if you are able to maintain 30+ hour weeks - which is impossible with many client cancellations (unless you have amazing availability). Many RBT's have two jobs for this reason.

I came from a different ABA company and was horrified by ACES. All training was videos and one or two days shadowing, but the BI I shadowed didn’t know what they were really doing. I also had a 10 year old client have multiple loud and aggressive behaviors and supervisors chose to casually watch rather than help me.
