Pros

Great support from supervisors. One of the best pay in the area in the autism field. You can take as many cases/work as many hours as you wish. Some compensation for driving.

Cons

Weird schedule, mostly in the afternoons and evenings. The training doesn't prepare you for working with parents, who are a huge part of a successful intervention. Lots of driving, which in San Diego means being stuck in traffic a lot.

Pros

Most of the BIs are nice. The kids are awesome and fun to work with.

Cons

Hours often get cut with no replacement. Weeks go by without a new client to help with income. Alt sessions are few and far in between. Scheduling is not strategic, often feels like people are just slapping things together without considering other options for BIs. Communication is lacking. Zero company transparency. Too many Bis and not enough clients. Further education is required to move up (i.e. Masters or PhD)

Pros

Supportive and knowledgeable support built in to the company's structure. I have worked at AST as an intervention and currently as a supervisor. As an interventionist I received support when working in uncomfortable situations with families. My supervisor truly made me feel she "had my back." In addition, I felt my supervisors were invested in my growth and professional development. They provided opportunities to learn advance behavior strategies and analysis. My supervisors were always open to questions and provided support in any way possible. After completing a masters program and passing the BCBA exam, I was promoted to supervisor. As a supervisor my clinical director has taught me how to teach others and manage both staff and families. Being a supervisor has allowed me to have a more flexible schedule. I feel I have a good work/life balance and have been compensated with a competitive salary. I have enjoyed all my different jobs at AST and have seen many changes occur throughout the company. I feel AST is invested in their staff and work hard to make it great work experience.

Cons

I believe cons with AST are consistent with industry standards. This would include inconsistent hours, long work days and drive times. However, being a in-home service provider, these concerns are common. I feel AST has been active in listening to interventionist concerns and have tried to rectify these concerns to the best of their ability. An additional concern would be limited growth without educational experience. I have seen some strong interventionist, with lots of experience, leave due to lack of advancement. However, with the appropriate educational experience, growth is possible.
