Pros

Age range is great. Little kiddos .

Cons

Cancelations: lets say you drove 30 minutes ,then a text appears seeing, canceled. The company wont pay you for the drive or lost session AND your responsible to set uo a makeup session. During holiday season, alot of cancelations happen, Therfore lost hours and pay. Dont believe it when they aay" we'll put you in other cases" . They'll try but it most likely wont be available. TRAINING: If your experienced, trust me your better off in another place. The training they advertised is 2 weeks of seeding/shadowing . But nope ,thats an estimate. Some people have shadowing times for months. At a training rate. Meaning you have to stay like a shadow at a session, go to random houses and sit there watching and occasionally practice for 2 hours. This can be exciting at first, but when it goes on for weeks and weeks , your pay will be low and your previous skills are very undervalued. Dont get excited about the pay : The pay rate lured me in, but considering the amount of time they needed to "find clients" for me , and teh amount of cancelations or no place for you to go, the rate is nothing .

Pros

Beacon took me in with no experience and taught me everything I know. I went through training from ABT to BT, CPR training through the company and even began the masters program to become a behavior analyst.

Cons

Employees don’t seem to last very long long

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for highlighting our training program and supportive team at Beacon. We’re glad to hear that the guidance from your supervisors and coworkers has been meaningful for you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding scheduling and communication. We recognize how challenging it can be for our staff when schedules shift unexpectedly due to family cancellations. While cancellations can unfortunately be a common occurrence for ABA providers, we do work closely with families to reduce disruptions and reschedule appointments whenever possible. Your comments are particularly helpful as we’re continually working to improve communication. We welcome the opportunity to talk through any concerns you may have offline and find the best ways to support you moving forward. If you’d like to talk more, we encourage you to connect with your supervisor or reach out directly to Paulo Guilhardi, Executive Vice President of Operations, at pguilhardi@beaconservices.org. Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for the important work you do every day.
