      Great people, questionable company

      Behavior technician

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people you work with will be your saving grace. If you work in the clinic you’ll be fine as long as the staff are nice people.

      Cons

      The compensation has me nearly homeless. It’s completely unsustainable; turnover rate is extremely high and they’re trying to bring people on at higher wages than they’re paying current BT’s. Travel is bad. They’ll tell you they compensate you, but you’d be more likely to get a deduction from your taxes. Don’t even try with them; just log it and report any excess travel for work during tax season. Your personal vehicle is not covered by them in any way; you take on the expenses of wear and tear, gas, and any damage / incidents that may occur on your way to, from, or at your clients home. They have no way of keeping you safe when you’re in home; everything is reactionary instead of proactive. Clients can be physically violent. They have health insurance but I have yet to be able to afford it; I’m on state-sponsored insurance. Your mental and physical well-being and health are not priorities. They mainly care about whether or not the client is fine to keep doing sessions. Bathroom breaks are sparse, and mandatory break periods are usually eaten up by travel for most BT’s. Plan ahead and pack things you can eat very quickly in your car. Supervision can be hit or miss depending on the BCBA. Some are nice people and some aren’t. They are your lifeline, however, and when they don’t show up to sessions for an entire month it gets dicey with programs.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's nice to hear that you have enjoyed working alongside ALP team members. In order to engage parents and caregivers in their child's intervention, we often provide intervention services in home. We work hard to be very transparent about the nature of our work and discuss the driving requirements during the interview process. While it is true that we care about our clients, we also care very much about our employees. We support career progression and strongly encourage BTs to work towards completion of clinical competencies for advancement opportunities, as well as tuition assistance programs. Unfortunately, sometimes our client's become sick or have the need to cancel a session. If you are interested in additional hours, or make-up hours, please contact your client services team member who can work with you to secure more hours. Thank you for your dedication in supporting the clients we serve!

      Underpaid, undervalued, & under trained - this is not the company for you

      Registered behavior technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Getting to work with amazing kids -seeing the progress your clients make and knowing that you were the reason by that success -seeing the changes in the parents/guardians of children when their child begins to master goals

      Cons

      -the pay is awful -employees are not valued in the slightest -lots of miscommunication between supervisors -some supervisors are disconnected from the children and push you to get results, even when a child is having a bad day or it is harming the overall progress, they will continue to pressure you into collecting better statistics instead of properly caring for a child -not a whole lot of training-- you kind of just get thrown into having clients with lots of terminology and are expected to know exactly what to do. The training consists of classes and textbook information but no real on the job training which I feel is imperative for a job like this where you are working with children in general, let alone children with autism -the job itself is extremely draining.. emotionally, mentally, and even physically. -you will get hit, kicked, or bit by a client (sometimes all 3) and be expected not to react or get any kind of help/relief from supervisors because "it's just part of the job". It can be extremely dangerous and there is not any hazardous pay available -they promise growth within the company but they don't mention that that is contingent on your supervisors filling out progress forms for you... if they even do it at all. My supervisors did not fill these forms out accordingly and I was not aware that it wasn't being done until months after the fact

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Although we offer 40 hours of clinical training per national certification requirements, we are aware that the most rigorous aspects of training happen on the job. Regrettably, our post-training field support program has been paused temporarily, due to safety measures related to Covid-19. We are incredibly grateful for our supervisor team for their efforts to go the extra mile to support our newer BTs. We are excited to launch a revised, socially-distanced approach to post-training live support in fall 2020. As training is a constant evolution to meet the needs of our team members, thank you again for your thoughtful feedback!
