Pros

The families and BT's were amazing to work with, families were always understanding and supportive of the programs, some were able to be involved, others observed from a distance. The BT's are the supporting pillars of the company without the hard work they put in, I wouldn't have been able to be there even for a min.

Cons

Long drives for most of the BT's including myself, if the starting point was San Jose, the destination would be as far as Oakland, or on the other side of the bridge up to Milbrae. Compensation was laughable compared to the pay in SJ and other companies in the SF/Fremont region, extremely high turnover rate, super small team of BT's (15) and managers(4).

We, at CSH, take all employee concerns seriously, and address accordingly. Unfortunately, the review above is based on inaccurate information. To address the concern regarding “long drives,” our work is conducted in the field, which means we travel to client homes to provide direct therapy. Our employment ads are posted by city in the areas we are looking to hire, so applicants are aware of what cities we are hiring for before they decide to apply. When interviewing, we confirm with potential staff what regions are in need and what cities they are willing to travel to before completing the hiring process. Staff are regionalized (within 25 miles of their home address) and CSH makes every effort to provide cases that are within their region. If a therapist is traveling out of their region, this has been agreed upon with the therapist prior to assignment of these cases. We are sorry to hear you feel our pay is “laughable”, as we continually research pay standards and are comparable to other agencies in our field in each region. CSH also provide several opportunities for growth through our in-house training programs that result in pay increases, as well as an annual performance review with the possibly of a pay increase depending on performance in your role. We hire to serve the needs of our clients. This also allows us to provide our staff with sufficient hours. We do not see this as a negative attribute of our 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.
