Pros

-Culture at the Schaumburg location is unlike any other in the best way possible -Staff members who have dedicated multiple years to this company and truly care for the needs of the children -Leadership shows a level of care and dedication to the staff and children (some much more outwardly and clearly than others)

Cons

-Physical and emotional needs of the children are not prioritized from a corporate standpoint (ex: requiring multiple instances of patients being physically uncomfortable and expelling physical proof of illness before being able to send patients home) -Requiring that certain physical comforts be ceased once a child reaches age 5 to due "belief of them being inappropriate displays of affection" as training explained -Minimal ability to take a break without directly affecting others due to a lack of staffing and inability to find relief (ex: unable to take a break for more than 7 minutes without requiring another technician to begin a direct session and record data while taking a break themselves) -Expectations from corporate for RBTs to function in an almost "robot like" capacity without acknowledgement through monetary compensation of the difficulty of the job (ex: $17/hr at 37.5hrs/week)

Pros

Benefits, PTO, and decent flexibility is some of the few positive for Action. Having upper management and leadership that actually listens to employee concerns and works toward practical solutions is probably the top pros.

Cons

Tech issues can arise more often than liked. But they are typically resolved quickly.

Pros

This is the first review I have ever written for an organization. Having been with ABC for over three years now and in our field for under a decade, I feel like I have a good grasp of our field, careers as a clinical supervisor and challenges that come with longevity in center based pediatric ABA services. My time with ABC has been full of laughter, camaraderie, learning and constant development. I have given it my all and the company has reciprocated. Through thick and thin, changes in the organization and evolution of my current role, I have been treated with respect and fairness. There is transparency, awareness and most importantly, humility to acknowledge missteps and correct them.

Cons

The role is draining. You are constantly trying to appease junior clinicians, therapists and families. After doing it for a few years, you feel the fatigue. What gets me energized is spending time with other clinicians and celebrating them. I look forward to summits and gatherings where we can put the day to day aside for a moment and acknowledge and recognize each other.
