Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are disappointed to read your comments about your experience. In the past few years, we have improved our pay scale and benefits for ABA salaried staff. Since Beacon provides in-home services to children throughout the state, we take great care to maintain small regional areas to prevent staff from long commutes between home visits. This however is not unique to Beacon, and we find that these regions are typically smaller than other ABA home-based providers. We value your feedback as we aim to ensure a positive experience for all our staff members, and we encourage you to reach out to us at support@beaconservices.org to further discuss your comments.

Pros

Great training in the beginning. Was set up with all the equipment needed for the job. Easy time sheet management.

Cons

Fee for service = no hours, not full time at all. If clients canceled you didn't get paid. The traveling was absolutely ridiculous. Not allowing for a break or time to get gas. The managers were terrible. No help ever. Clients/parents were rude, not accommodating. They gave me Spanish speaking parents when I don't speak Spanish. The hours are trash, 8am-6pm where is the work life balance?? Mileage needs to be way more money for the travel.

We are disappointed that your experience did not meet your expectations. Cancellations are an unfortunate challenge that all ABA agencies experience. Beacon works alongside families to minimize unexpected cancellations and reschedule whenever possible. We understand the inconsistencies in hours can be difficult and have added paid time off and staffing resources for rescheduling appointments when families must cancel due to unexpected circumstances. We have a cancellation policy in place to support staff needs for consistency in hours. We provide services to children throughout Massachusetts and place an emphasis on maintaining small regional areas to prevent staff from having long commutes between home visits. To set expectations during the hiring process, we carefully discuss the intended region with each candidate so they have a full understanding of the region they will be servicing. We find that most people are pleasantly surprised about the small size of the regions compared with other ABA home-based providers. Beacon also provides a 30-minute break without travel for staff who work six or more hours, in compliance with state labor laws. We recognize the impactful work that our team does in support of children and families. We strive for transparency and continuous improvement in all areas of our practice. We value your feedback and welcome the opportunity to discuss your comments further. We invite you to reach out to us at support@beaconservices.org.
