Pros

The client’s are great to work with- it’s really the only reason people stay. You will learn a lot about ABA if you’re driven.

Cons

The management team micro-manages, and they are always looking to blame someone. There is no trust- simple things like office supplies are kept on lockdown and you have to ask permission to do anything. CSH doesn’t keep up with technological advances and therefor staff waste time and energy calculating data and creating graphs that should be done in an instant by a data crunching app. This leads to the staff and management team charging clients $$$$$$ for their lack of preparation. The management team is very reactive. I mean this in that as ABA professionals, you would think they would use these tactics in the organization as well (reinforcement, antecedent strategies, etc)... but they do not. It is always 1. Something happens, 2. Punishment is delivered, 3. Reactive strategies are put in place (new policies, new rules, etc). Nobody is on the same page... there are alllll of these rules, yet people only have to follow them with certain BCBAs and if they are liked. The rules don’t apply equally to everyone.

We do agree that our clients are exceptional, and that our team is very driven and are knowledgeable in the ABA therapy field. To address your statement regarding the supplies, the office supplies are kept in an unlocked room for ease of access, as trust, is an integral part of our company here at CSH. We believe that trust is built on integrity and honesty, and CSH provides growth opportunities to those that demonstrate trustworthy behaviors. However, if you are referring to our medical and clinical files, then yes, absolutely, CSH does work hard to ensure that all of our client information is safeguarded for our client’s privacy. To ensure we protect our client data from HIPAA violations, and breaches of the BACB ethical codes; we have put extra precautions in place to ensure that our client’s medical and clinical files are secure. Employees may have to ask the administrative team to accompany them to specific locations of the office that contain client or medical files, for HIPAA compliance purposes. Our staff are cognizant of the HIPAA regulations, so they understand the protocols in place to avoid any breaches. As a former employee growing in this field, we would hope that you would understand the importance of protecting client information, and abiding by the HIPAA regulations and laws. We choose to maintain the data collection process as we have found that this provides the clinical team with a paper trail of the data collected; whereas a technical device may cut time down in the moment, it may create more time to try to rectify the paperwork if there was a technical glitch. CSH has many reinforcing incentives for our employees to engage in, (i.e. Employee of the Month, Employee Anniversary Celebrations, Holiday Gatherings, etc.). Based on the continuous growth of the ABA therapy field, our company remains flexible by creating policies that are aligned with the ever changing field to best benefit our staff and clients. All staff equally follow the same protocols specified in New Hire Training, stated in the Employee Handbook, reminded in the Companywide trainings, and recapped again by supervisors of the company.

Pros

- Great management! They are very supportive when you are not feeling well or are having a hard time with clients! - It is pretty easy to move up in the career ladder as long as you are dedicated. The BCBAs are willing to help out!

Cons

- Reroutes do get difficult sometimes. When your client cancels, there may be a chance you do not earn hours since you may not get reroutes.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're glad to hear you feel supported by our management team and are finding opportunities for growth. We truly value your dedication and contributions. We understand that reroutes can be challenging, especially when cancellations happen on short notice. While it can be difficult to reroute you to a new client under those circumstances, please know that we do everything possible to help mitigate the impact. We also encourage you to stay communicative with your managers and the scheduling team—especially if a client shows a pattern of cancellations—so we can provide the best possible support. Thanks again for being a valued member of the CSH team!

Pros

Higher wages than most other ABA companies.

Cons

Ridiculously large caseloads. They hired basically anyone and then didn’t adequately train them. This led to really poor BT performance. HR was very unprofessional and made people constantly scared for their jobs. There was really only one BCBA who would come up occasionally for supervision (she was great) but otherwise there weren’t any competent BCBAs providing supervision. The turnover at the company was worse than others, which is saying something.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We do want to address a number of statements in this review, as they don’t accurately reflect how our organization operates or what most of our team experiences. Caseloads are not ridiculously large as described. They are intentionally built to support our Case Managers in maintaining full-time schedules. We take factors such as cancellations and client availability into account to ensure staff have consistent hours to pull from. Caseloads are also reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed to support our team while maintaining a high standard of care for our clients. In the same way, the comment about training is not consistent with our process. Behavior Technicians go through structured onboarding and receive ongoing support and supervision to help them succeed in their roles. The claim that there was only one BCBA providing supervision is also not accurate. We have multiple qualified BCBAs who are actively involved in supervision, case oversight, and supporting staff on a regular basis. We also take pride in maintaining a professional and supportive workplace. The characterization of HR as unprofessional or creating fear does not reflect our approach. Our goal is always to communicate clearly, support employees, and create a stable work environment. Regarding hiring and turnover, we maintain hiring standards and work hard to build and retain a strong team. While turnover can happen in this field, the way it’s described here is not representative of our overall organization. Finally, our expansion into the Bay Area was driven by the need for services, not for the reasons suggested in this review. We expanded thoughtfully and have continued investing in the people and structure needed to support both our staff and the families we serve. We understand that not every individual experience is the same, but it’s important to clarify that several of the points raised here are not an accurate portrayal of our company. We remain focused on continuous improvement and providing a positive environment for both employees and clients.
