the focus is on money, not on quality

Pros

There are some very nice people on the office staff. If you have no experience and need to get experience to move onto something better, this is one of many possibilities. Initial tutor training is very good.

Cons

Understand that you are disposable to them. you are not seen as a human being, just a cog in a money making machine. They make lots of promises, but don't expect those promises to be kept. They are not upfront about how much time they require you to work that you can not bill for, they are not upfront about many aspects of the job. From a clinical perspective, the paperwork looks good, but the ability to do good solid clinical work simply does not exist.

It's alright, just not enough training and support

Pros

Some pros were that I was able to get my RBT certification and it was paid for by the company. I liked the families that I worked with.

Cons

Drive time and inconsistent hours/schedule. When a client cancels, you don't get the hours, so it is difficult to rely on income as an RBT. Also, there is a lack of hands-on training. You kind of are just thrown in with minimal guidance when you first start. You learn as you go but it would be nice to have support from the get go.

Pros

Salary, one CEU meeting per month

Cons

I didn’t work here long, but it was a terrible experience. They are very profit driven, so you will get hit with a huge caseload right away (I had over 20 before I left) and no support. Communication from management is messy with staff and families which leaves them upset with the BCBA. They make you sign a noncompete that limits your ability to work after you leave and tell you to do reports that you have not been trained on. The benefits are not great (only 10 days vacation/sick combined, no 401k match, health insurance deductibles up to 6k). there is a reason why tech turnover is high and this region has a revolving door of BCBAs.

Hello, I’m sorry you had a negative experience. We cap the number of BCBA cases at 15 home-based cases. You should never have 20 cases as that is a breach of policy. Any BCBA that is unsatisfied with their situation always has access to the President. As a BCBA-D I understand the challenges of the position. I am taking your feedback very seriously and will conduct an internal review so future staff do not encounter some of the concerns you express in this review. Dr. Steve Woolf, BCBA-D and President
