Not for everyone, but I loved it

Pros

Tons of upward growth if you love ABA and will go to school for it, though much less possibility if you only have a Bachelors and do not want to pursue a higher degree in ABA. Supervision seems adequate, and the BCBAs I have worked with are super intelligent and often very helpful. There is a lot of flexibility. The experience is great, and I personally love it.

Cons

We get paid for collateral time (essentially work done at home), which for BTs ends up being much more than what you're paid for. It's a lot outside work. Also, we are out of the house about 11 hours per day but only are paid for 6-8. No sick time, vacations, etc., and when there is roughly a 10% chance that you're schedule will be full in any given week with no cancellations, it is difficult to save money.

Pros

The actual work is very rewarding. The children and families that you'll work with almost make dealing with the company worth it. Flexible schedules are available and Beacon provides opportunities for advancement and education.

Cons

If you're an ABT or BT your pay will be inconsistent at best since these are fee for service positions. Supervisors vary depending on region but mine was unsupportive, at times rude, and nearly impossible to communicate with. People are given management positions based on clinical licensure and certification alone rather than actually having skills necessary to manage people. There is very little support even though working in homes can be physically and emotionally draining. There is no respect and no appreciation for those in ABT or BT positions. In these roles, you are replaceable and the company treats you as such. I would never recommend working for Beacon, unless maybe you're in a salaried position.
