      Pros

      N/A- unless you want to count free food on occasions.

      Cons

      This company dramatically changed when they had new share holders and a CEO (from Ryan to Hersh) Prior to the changes and COVID, employees received breaks and were salary and not overworked. Since then BCBA's caseloads and teams have jumped from 6 clients to 8 patients. 8 patients with a team of only 9 RBT's. The RBT's are severely overworked and receive no breaks, and if they do it is a 30 min break. This "break" is done during transitions from client to client with RBT's so you never really get a solid 30 min break. The schedule is done in "rotation" which makes no sense cause the breaks are not equally distributed. Some people have 1-1.5 hour breaks and some have 0. With a heavier case load, BCBA's have difficulties treating and programing for the kiddos- and since there are no more breaks/floats stimuli and the up keep of our center is not being made or kept. HQ has a margarita machine and beer on tap Xbox and many other accessories for those who are not in the center and do not actually implement the therapy they promote, however clinics in Austin, Round Rock and Cedar park have to wait for budget approvals to ask for new toys, repairs in playground and basic sanitary needs. During the snow storm leadership (HQ) informed us that if we wanted to be gracious towards our coworkers we can offer our own PTO to them vs them giving us days for the 4-5 days we missed (They gave us 1). They sometimes cut your hours due to kids not showing up and tell you that you have a guaranteed 36 hours. This is true however it comes in random times. They have total control over your schedule and 90% of the time you will be booked with a kid from 8-4 and your "break" will be 4 pm-4:30pm or 8 am-8:30 am

      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.
