Pros

I'd been in the industry for a couple years before starting with AST. Their therapy practices are fairly solid, which is harder to find in agencies than you'd hope. While I was familiar with the stuff in the training, I found the training to be very thorough, which is definitely important, especially for those unfamiliar with the industry.

Cons

To get full time hours, you have to spend an insanely long amount of time away from home (13 hours 5 days a week for me). I never feel treated like a person, just a work robot. When I started, I was told to just let them know when you start to feel burned out. When I started reaching my point of burn out, I let them know immediately. It took over a month for any changes to be made to my schedule. And even then, they only lasted a week before they extended my days back to 13 hours without my consent. Long drives. Very long drives. It takes me roughly an hour to get to my first client, then another hour from the other direction to get back home after my last client. You feel punished for taking time off. Even though it's well earned, you are often made to feel like it is a huge burden, and taking time off causes as much stress as continuing working. Not to mention, for the industry, allowed PTO comes far later than it should.

I appreciate your comments about our training and therapy practices, thank you. I am very sorry to hear that you did not feel appreciated or supported in taking time off. As a company we give staff PTO (and allow you to roll from year to year) so that you can use it to take a break. We only request that you give us advance notice of your plans, so that we can plan accordingly and provide the best possible services to our clients. If you felt otherwise, that was not at all our intention. As an organization, we are committed to creating an excellent working environment for all our staff - where they can feel great about their work, get the hours that they want (with as little drive time as possible) and develop as a professional. If we let you down in this way, I am sorry. I appreciate your feedback and wish you well in your future. - Justin

Pros

Flexibility. woman-led field. frequent pay raises. overtime opportunities.

Cons

Clinical director lives across the country so is not as easily accessible or truly aware of staff dynamics and issues. before AST was bought out by LEARN, they did 401K matching, that's no more. No more sick time off, it's all just lumped into your PTO. Issues with staff take too long to be resolved. Depending on the BCBA you get placed with, you'll either have lots of great support or none at all.
