It’s a place to get your foot in the door of ABA, but not good long term.
Pros
Great communication and direction from BCBA’s. Love the clients. Nice and new therapy building. The work you are doing is meaningful.
Cons
ACES tries to pull you in with promises of benefits, PTO, and full-time hours. What they don’t tell you is that your hours will fluctuate and PTO is not available. You will be overworked and underpaid— you are just a number here. The supervisor does not live in the state and visits once a month. Complaints are “heard” but nothing is actually done about them. The pay is significantly lower than surrounding companies and raises are few and far between. The environment is full of toxic positivity and drama, but you have to fight for your side to be believed and acknowledged. Not enough resources available for clients to release energy. There is no career path within the company if you aren’t planning to be a BCBA.
