Pros

Free lunches on Fridays. Some holidays paid.

Cons

I’ve been with this company for almost a year. The management is awful. Favoritism all over the place. The pay is not up to your experience whatsoever. The BCBAs don’t care about the help you may need with a patient or the questions you have. They treat you like garbage if you don’t get the treatment plans right away. The BCBAs are on a power high. They get more patients than there are therapist so your “floats” get taken away and you’re working with a child non stop for 8 hours without a lunch or break. The managers scold you because you want to use your PTO for appointments when you work 8-5 and there’s no time during the week bc you’re working. They favorite the ones who want to become BCBAs and no one else. RBTs are constantly looking for new jobs because of the pay rate. They criticize you because you ask for help or questions. All this company cares about is money. It’s an awful place to work. The turn over rate is HIGH. No one wants to work at this company for long. Do yourself a favor and NOT APPLY!!!! Not worth your time.

We are very sorry to hear this about your experience at ABC. We want you to know we take this kind of feedback very seriously and are always looking for ways to improve the work experience for our people. It’s concerning to see some of the claims in this review since our policies and team structures are not what was described. As you are a current employee, we strongly encourage you to reach out directly to our VP of Administration, Lori VanAmburg, at HR@actionbehavior.com so we can get more details on the issues you describe and address them accordingly.

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.
