Hello, I'm pleased that find the work so rewarding. We are looking to open an ABA center in Charlotte area within the next six months. The new center will permit behavior technicians to work full-time hours. Dr. Steve Woolf, President

Pros

Great communication with supervisors and mentors, very easy to collaborate on programs. Supervisors of all levels have an amazing want to listen and consider non-leadership employees experiences and ideas. Nothing but positive things to say about the Northern California leadership!

Cons

There is a culture of staff purchasing activities and rewards for clients, I recommend building a stock of supplies that most children will like and ask families or caregivers to purchase extras to be kept at childs house. Supervision is almost entirely over zoom and not always productive when in person. That being said, supervisors are very quick to respond to emails, texts or calls giving during or after hours.

Hello, Thank you for the positive review. I pleased to hear how responsive the BCBAs are to your needs. We only use BCBA telehealth in limited manner. Most of the tech supervision is face to face in the families' home. Also, techs should never pay for toys or child reinforcers, we reimburse these expense. Dr. Steve Woolf, President

Pros

-Provides your initial RBT training - Somewhat flexible -Dress-code is relaxed

Cons

-Your hours can be cut at no fault to you and you will be punished for it. Example, client goes on vacation for 2 weeks. You lose your full time status and have to earn it back which takes 6+ months. Losing your full time status means you lose your benefits. -Worked shifts without lunch breaks. Sometimes 9 hours back to back. - Not having enough staff lead to several issues. - Use your own internet device to record data and write billing notes. If broken by client, you are not reimbursed. - Could be scheduled with back to back clients that require over an hour of drive time between. - Minimum of 3 hour sessions required. This usually means you can only work with two clients a day. This also means that school aged children will need to complete a full day of school and then do 3 hours of ABA in the evening.

Hello, I don’t know your personal circumstances, but a six-year employee is critically important to BE. All long-term employees receive an anniversary bonus ($500) when working for five years. Our benefits and hourly rates are typically within the average to above average range for industry. We also have promotional opportunities for RBTs, where they can become mentors and enter the company’s graduate assistance program to earn their BCBA. I wish you had a better experience, Dr. Steve Woolf, BCBA-D and President
