Pros

Tons of upward growth if you love ABA and will go to school for it, though much less possibility if you only have a Bachelors and do not want to pursue a higher degree in ABA. Supervision seems adequate, and the BCBAs I have worked with are super intelligent and often very helpful. There is a lot of flexibility. The experience is great, and I personally love it.

Cons

We get paid for collateral time (essentially work done at home), which for BTs ends up being much more than what you're paid for. It's a lot outside work. Also, we are out of the house about 11 hours per day but only are paid for 6-8. No sick time, vacations, etc., and when there is roughly a 10% chance that you're schedule will be full in any given week with no cancellations, it is difficult to save money.

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.
