Pros

Large, well established company. This company is not going to be laying anyone off. They are aggressively expanding in an attempt to dominate the ABA services for autism market.

Cons

From a BCBA's perspective, management is overwhelmed. They think they are skillful at organization behavior management, but they're actually just bullies. Strident, obnoxious, power crazed describes management best. They are actually unethical with their direct service staff, denying signing off on supervised fieldwork supervision if per diem staff don't accept assignments. Worst employment experience ever!

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.
