Pros

You get to change lives and make a good impact on people.

Cons

There’s no actual pay structure and if you ask for one they can’t provide one. Little to no direction when it comes to starting the job and continuing. Little to no room to move up in the company. Issues never resolved in a timely manner. Poor management and response from upper management.

We want to extend a heartfelt appreciation for the time and energy you devoted to supporting ALP families, and for sharing your candid feedback with us. The Behavior Technician role is a critical one that can truly change lives. We’re truly sorry to hear your time with us wasn't more positive, and please know we take that seriously. We have processes in place to ensure everyone is on the same page, but we understand that people can get busy sometimes which may cause delays. Busy-ness aside, ALP upholds the expectation that all team members treat each other with respect and follow the guidelines and policies outlined in our Employee Handbook. We’ll pass along your feedback as we’re always looking for ways to improve the services we provide and the support we offer our employees. Please be assured that the compensation detailed in each employee’s offer letter is the same as reflected in every paystub; if there is ever a discrepancy, our Payroll team works quickly to resolve it. Thank you again for the time and support you provided our families during your time at ALP. We wish you the best wherever your career takes you next!

Pros

Flexible with remote work, fellow coworkers

Cons

Low pay!!! I did not like the clinical director for my region. Not welcoming when I joined the company. The bonus is a joke because it’s required. Company cares about numbers, not clients.

We want to start by expressing our heartfelt gratitude for choosing ABA as your profession. We recognize the incredible impact that each new BCBA has on the lives of children and families, and we appreciate your dedication to this mission. We’re sorry to hear that you and your Clinical Director were not able to collaborate successfully during your time at ALP, but we appreciate your feedback and will look to use this as an opportunity to improve. About our bonus plan, we’re very serious about seeing real progress in our clients which is why our bonus plan for clinicians is tied to things like clinical prescription fulfillment and mentorship for your BTs. Thank you again for dedicating your professional life to ABA. We value your contributions to our mission, and we appreciate the time you spent at ALP.

Pros

Rewarding and fun experiences with children, allowed for a primary experience in the field of psychology, learned about behaviorism in real time. Decent pay, and increased pay after 6 PM Weekends off

Cons

Main downside: clients get sick and you don't get paid. Since beginning a month ago I have had two clients miss an entire week, and as of today another client has gotten sick and will most likely be out for the rest of the week. There is no way to be compensated for this My availability had to be changed to accommodate for available clients, and my schedule is now from 10:30-8:30 After initial first session, there is not much guidance or feedback, so sessions can feel very unstructured and aimless. The efficacy of ABA can be debated. The history of ABA is concerning and some of the "compliance" goals seem unnecessary and can feel wrong to implement (withholding preferred item until desired phrase is said, which is incomprehensible to client. Teaches rote memorization for no purpose other than compliance?) Spending a lot of time driving to and from with not great compensation. Sometimes can feel more like a babysitter than a behaviorist.

Thank you for your support of our San Jose families! We truly appreciate the important role you play and your dedication to our mission. And we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your interactions with the children, as that is our favorite part, too. At ALP, we understand the impact cancellations can have on our families, and we’re actively working on piloting new programs to find a solution to this challenge. In the meantime, we encourage all our employees, including you to communicate proactively with their direct supervisor and client services to schedule makeup sessions if needed. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t feel supported after your initial session. We work hard to develop our staff so they feel fully prepared before going into client homes. If you ever find yourself in a unique situation, we encourage you to reach out to your Regional Trainer and/or Field Trainer for additional guidance. As for gas mileage, we do our best to monitor and adjust our reimbursement rate as gas prices fluctuate. In fact, we increased our mileage reimbursement several months ago to reflect sudden spikes in gas prices at that time. Thank you again for all the support you provide to our San Jose families.
