Pros

-Some kids and families are enjoyable to work with. -holiday party at end of the year.

Cons

-feels like glorified babysitting -therapists are pretty much left to develop and implement activities on their own because supervisors don't provide sufficient support -driving is excessive even though you are lied to about being matched with clients near your area -no reimbursement for travel -trainings on Saturday mornings are more for kissing up to management -hours are not flexible (any time off must be made up and nobody ever offers to cover) -office staff is not personable and are easily put off

Hello, thank you for your review. We love to show appreciation to our employees through gift cards, free meals, and events at the office. I apologize that your experience was not entirely positive. We do our best to respond to emails promptly and will respond within 24 hours, which is stated in the Offer Letter and the Job Description. Because you are working as a Therapist, the child does depend on you for services, and that is why we ask you the commit to their sessions and if you do need to miss a session, to please submit a time-off request 2 weeks prior. The purpose of our trainings is to help you develop your skills as an employee and to help you grow within the company. We want our therapists to be the best for our clients. If you ever need to reach Human Resources, they are always available at HR@cs4hope.com or you can call the front desk to speak to the department as well. Regarding driving, we do try to keep our therapists within a 25 mile radius of their homes. However, if you let us know during your interview that you are willing to travel to cities outside that range, you may be placed there. We also reimburse for travel and help pas for mileage as well. The BCBAs are there to support the Behavior Therapists throughout their training, as well as after for continuous development.

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.
