Pros

The other behavior analysts and direct support staff were great to work with. However, you do not see them on a regular basis. Their software system for writing notes was very easy and efficient. It was nice to have an office to print things, however, not totally necessary and not worth receiving much lower pay than other companies.

Cons

The upper management was insanely disorganized. The staff turn over in the central office was very frustrating. There was never any consistency and I felt like I was talking to someone new every time I had to call and they never seemed to know what they were doing. It also felt like they paired up clients with clinicians that they could make the best profit off of instead of matching them with clinicians that had the proper skill set to handle the clients. The low pay was the biggest turn off for me. They claim that their benefits and training opportunities compensate for the lower pay, but I disagree. If you crunch the numbers on how much you could make somewhere else without the benefits and PTO, you will still make more elsewhere. They also do not pay their employees equally and they have it in their contract that employees are not allowed to talk about their salaries with other employees or their contract could be terminated. This is ILLEGAL. According to the The National Labor Relations Act, employers can't ban the discussion of salary and working conditions among employees. That should be a RED FLAG. People who have been working in the company for much longer with Board certifications are only making a few dollars more per hour than people who were just hired and have no board certification. The healthcare plan that they boast about providing is garbage. I had better coverage when I was on Obamacare...

We invite anyone to come visit, and speak with any of us @cbacares.com. We are transparent, accountable, open to these reviews and most gratefully open to all forms of honest constructive feedback. This company has a revised employee handbook that outlines its current structure, benefits and employment law. It does not, has not, and will not act in the manner inaccurately outlined here; these appear to be misperceptions. Sending feedback or talking to a supervisor and/or scheduling a meeting with the Program Directors could have easily remedied these misperceptions. Like most companies we improve because we listen and solicit feedback i.e., the employee benefits have grown to offering 401k company matching for retirement, matching monthly to full-time staff’s individual HSA accounts (i.e., tax-free and matched to you from the company - monthly), health reimbursement to your deductibles (i.e., getting qualified deductibles $ back) plus a plethora of other benefits (dental, vision, disability, CEU/conference budget, full licensure/certification coverage-paid, PTO, Holiday Pay, EAP and more...). Unfortunately, these perceptions outlined above are inadequate. Benefits assistance is available to every person's own choice of plans (HDHP or PPO “Cadillac” plan). Thus, depending on your choice of medical plans you could have a variety of benefits. If you choose a plan and didn't like it, you should communicate that and make sure you can choose a different plan at the next opportunity. The company provides a 1-page offer letter that simplifies everything into a single-page summary. They created self-managed accountability systems for all positions and fully understand that individuals discuss pay, benefits and compensation. CBA’s compensation modifications are confidential due to employee rights to privacy. We have never acted upon an employee in any negative way for discussing compensation in over 20 years. The company doesn’t mind anyone discussing what is already being discussed, it must be "as long as the employee’s rights to privacy" are established. It is estimated 61% of companies enforce some form of protection and there are various reasons why some companies prefer it... This company’s current position is to respect the employee’s right to privacy, we encourage everyone to post here publicly their salaries and reviews and discuss among whomever. The company’s leadership encourages it, wants it to be know that individual's who work hard, get experience and provide quality services and show professional maturation, they are the ones who make higher compensation with benefits based on efforts and experience. Individuals with limited or less experience begin with lower compensation, whether professionally certified or not... it is about performance. This reviewer assumes that certification (alone) has more value on its own and maybe some others do value it higher that current performance... we believe performance is key. Other than experience, education, prof. certification, licensure and more importantly, the ability to demonstrate during an introductory period mastery of basics (i.e., being on time, following through) very little else matters. A professional certification is not the only factor in determining compensation. Current performance is just more important. About 45-50% of other private companies in this state have no choice at all from their employer and must access and pay 100% of their own medical. To suggest a choice of paid benefits (including a HDHP or PPO/"Cadillac" medical plan) are futile seems like a moot point in our humble opinion. We will respond directly to inaccuracies, we'll adjust and review based on constructive feedback and we will always seek it out to improve. We are built with pride by parents who care for disabled loved ones, BCBAs and other licensed professionals who are just as important. This company makes adjustments in an ever changing healthcare market which demands flexibility and we want honest reviews, constructive feedback and will listen to every single word. We continue to listen and appreciate all constructive feedback, that is how we have flourished for the last 2 decades, because we do care... we have more skin in the game than finances which is a secondary priority so we can offer highly qualified professionals competitive pay/benefits. Confidentiality of compensation is based on employee privacy, we have open books on compensation for all positions, including fieldwork supervision (which is a lower compensated position) anyone can ask for them. While it does not seem to have been your experience, we get a lot of positive feedback about the office vibe at CBA and take great pride in promoting positive, constructive feedback as well as a family friendly atmosphere lead by females and males, owned and operated by both as well as, parents who understand caring for a child with disabilities.

Pros

I really appreciate the mission and efforts of CBA to provide quality services and make the application of quality applied behavior analysis more “user friendly” and welcoming! I strongly believe that CBA offers top notch counseling and behavior supports within a unified teamwork in ABI waivers in Kentucky that is not available in any other provider. I am very aware of how a counselor or other provider can undermine a BSP either knowingly or unknowingly. I am also aware of how desperately counseling is needed to assist as a model of and reinforcer of the behavior support plan implementation because the behavior support specialists can’t implement the plan and the others on team may not know about the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This uniqueness and teamwork makes CBA’s services and working environment most effective and positive! I’m very honored to be a part of this provider whose mission is the same as my personal mission and is first to blaze a trail in regards to providing innovative behavior and counseling services in this area!

Cons

The challenges of working at CBA is dealing with the funding source nuances and changes that effect CBA’s ability to provide quality ethical services to vulnerable populations. It is sometimes difficult to remain up to date with funding source changes, staff connections, and staff changes during this time of growth and development.

Pros

CBA is a company focused on high-quality services as opposed to high-profit-margin services. They invest in themselves routinely via a structure that has administrative staff, intake coordinators, team leaders to assist in managing clinicians caseloads, questions and concerns, and billing practices, a supervision structure that is thorough and gets faded via measurable criterion as opposed to "feel", ever-changing company norms that take advantage of any new structure or procedure to improve our business model even up to pairing with a billing company to custom-design our own billing website and portal, and they are a company on the cutting edge of getting behavior analytic services into novel environments to reach any and every population imaginable. CBA is aspiring to maintain incfredibly high-wuality services, while expanding where it can deliver services to a large variety of consumers including more typical waiver services, insurance services, and private pay while also providing services by contract with intermediate care facilities, school districts, brain injury facilities, and a trademarked training called "RAPID" that can be administered to anyone aiming to be a "behavior change agent" including parents, direct care staff, professional staff, teachers, police officers, etc.

Cons

Changes. CBA is constantly aiming for the highest quality of services, therefore they are constantly tweaking and changing their company, their technologies, their company structure, etc. This company is ever-evolving and strengthening which is good but as an employee, it can be stressful to have ongoing changes that prevent you from acclimating to a "status quo". Billing software, employees, contacts for various issues, policies, procedures, anything can be changed if it improves the quality of services provided. That is great for quality but sometimes difficult for employees.
