Pros

My boss was decent in the beginning! The kiddos are who are most important. Pay was decent as I started out a little higher at $21 tho low for California!

Cons

Backstabbing by the supervisor. Supervisor didn’t do her job. I did it. Boss backed the supervisor even when hearing the truth from me. Lack of support. I had to create the session when it’s the BCBA’s job. I paid for supplies. I used my own device and phone. Promised hours that failed to happen. No hours offered when client canceled 7 session in a row or when they end the session early or start it late. Lied about the hiring bonus. Poor training for what is required. Those in higher roles are condescending and rude.

Butterfly Effects is one of the cleanest billings ABA companies in the nation. We have a compliance/quality assurance department that routinely audits session notes and billing records. We are regularly audited by health insurance providers and receive compliance scores above the 95th percentile. We also have a toll-free ethics line for staff to report suspected fraud. We may not be a perfect company and do make mistakes, but we have great respect for the behavior technician role. I wish this individual had called our HR department for assistance. We try to be very fair to all employees. Dr. Steve Woolf. President

Pros

-excellent starting experience if college student in health care -paid training -flexible-ish -supervision can be great if you get it -great covid policies for protection between clients and providers (but no $ compensation) -if you want a straight gateway into starting a BCBA program within 6 months they have amazing opportunities

Cons

-out of luck if a client cancels - no $ compensation -BCBAs are overworked so if you show competence you are given more responsibility than what is preferred -Supervision is sporadic (fine) but when you have issues that need immediate attention it can take some time to get them addressed -I wish there was more support for RBTs that need help with in-home sessions (i.e. lesson planning, how to maintain engagement, etc.) -you get zero benefits if part-time and PT probably make up 80% of staff. No PTO, no healthcare/vision/dental/ no 401K matching. This is not the job for long-term employees and why do they want to run that model? We are expected to create relationships with families but they don't want to keep their employees long-term?

Pros

Experience for better opportunities, work/life balance

Cons

Toxic work environment, No support, learning job on your own, BCBAs set you up to fail, prejudice/racist environment (believes stereotypes), does not adhere to all COVID restrictions, does not follow protocols/chains of command, “throws bricks and hide hands” administration/Regional Director/BCBAs, walking on eggshells, does not cater to “urban” early intervention clients as much as their caucasian peers, no medical benefits, HIGH turnover, just over all and all around TOXIC environment.
