Pros

Building rapport and feeling support from the families I worked with Obtained supervision hours, thank you!

Cons

Low employee morale High turn-over Constant changes to supervision with employees and families. No consistency Snobby management Minimal pay raises Families and Clients are not their number 1 priority...all about making money for the company. Pushed hours on families (to make money) Lack of staff performance monitoring and reinforcement systems Act like they encourage professional development, yet had no empathy for when scheduling to take BCBA exam

First, I want to thank you for your 5 years of service to AST’s families. Regarding responses to Glassdoor reviews, this is a fairly new practice, but something I am committing to do for every review (not just the ones that are flattering). I am very sorry to hear that you did not feel supported in your process of taking your BCBA exam. Professional development is not just a talking point for us, we truly want all our staff to have a valuable experience during their time here - however long that may be - so that it helps them pursue the career path they want. Let me say, congratulations on taking your exam! That is no small accomplishment, and I’m sorry you did not feel celebrated during that process. As far as AST’s priorities, I have to disagree. While we are certainly committed to being a successful organization, that can never come at the expense of excellent clinical practices or happy, successful staff. We have worked hard to be transparent in our town hall meetings and to solicit feedback from staff and implement changes to improve our organization for employees. Things like the LI and SI roles, free PassTheBigExam course, and technology investments are all a result of listening to employees. I am sorry that this was not seen or felt by you. I appreciate your feedback and with you well in your future work as a BCBA. - 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.
