Wouldn't Recommend - Behavior Therapist Creative Solutions for Hope Employee Review

Pros

Working with different clients and families

Cons

The supervisors only checked in with you about once or twice a month so most of the time you are on your own. Once you start you get thrown into with no guidance which was very stressful. I got told during my interview that after a few months I could go to full-time hours but this was a straight up lie. I asked multiple times to many different admin employees about going full-time during my year here and they keep leading me on with no intention to give me more hours. HR rarely responds to emails and the supervisors would talk behind admin and HR's back about how terrible they were and also how they never answered emails. My supervisors would even talk behind other supervisors backs and all the problems during session in front of the kiddos. They give terrible hours, not accurate drive time, and no compensation for cancellations (which most other companies do). I had fun with the kids for the most part but I would never recommend, I moved on to other behavioral therapy companies that are way better than this one.

Thank you for your feedback. We do provide consistent supervision within each case that a therapist has, in addition the supervision and feedback received from supervisors is tracked on a monthly basis. We also offer New Hire Training to every new staff member via in person lecture based and hands on trainings. Unfortunately due to the nature of the field, and a therapist’s availability, we cannot guarantee hours. Scheduling is like a giant puzzle piece in this field, but the more open a therapist’s availability is to have session, the more opportunity our scheduling team has to fulfil a schedule. All time is pre-determined for the employee so that we can assist with alleviating the scheduling work for the staff member. We want to provide our team with the ability to focus solely on the services they provide to our clients. Although we can tentatively pre-determine a schedule, it is up to that staff member to let us know of the accurate time worked/drive time. Due to our contracts, we are unable to bill for client cancelations; however we are more than happy to provide compensation (at the company's expense) for late cancelations. We think all of our clients are fun and are family to us, and we try to make a lasting impression on each one we service!

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.
