Pros

Flexible schedule, advancement opportunities, working with children, tuition reimbursement to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, mileage reimbursement

Cons

This is not a consistent job. Clients are constantly cancelling sessions. Because the position is "fee for service", this means that you were not paid for cancelled sessions.There is poor communication among supervisors and other Early Intervention Speciualists. There was a number of times when a parent would cancel and notify a supervisor but the parent and supervisor would fail to notify me as well. This resulted in me travling miles to clients home only to find out they cancelled/were not home. Total waste of time. Some supervisors want you to do EVERYTHING their way. Leaves no room to develop repor with children or develop your own teaching skills. Alot of take home work that you were not paid for. You have to do and submit your own timesheets. If you made even the slightest error, your pay will be witheld until the following pay period Some clients homes are filthy and smell bad If you dont have access to a computer, this position is not for you.

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.
