Pros

Flexible schedule and PTO/sick time.

Cons

You do not get an actual break. Company is understaffed, in my interview I was told there would be room for growth, which is not true unless you join their Masters program. You do not get payed for any administrative work you do at home an ABT such as phone calls with supervisors, or driving to office for supplies, sending emails etc.

Beacon honors labor laws which require a 30-minute break without travel for staff who work six or more hours. We recognize and value the time that our team put into supporting Beacon children and families, as staff who participate in outside of session administrative work receive an elevated direct service hourly rate. For staff striving to earn a promotion from an Associate Behavior Therapist to a Behavior Therapist, a Master’s Degree is not required. We appreciate your feedback and invite you to reach out to us at support@beaconservices.org as we aim to ensure a positive experience for all our staff members.

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.
