Pros

The kids are the best part about the job.

Cons

No support. High ...very high turnover. I've never seen turn over like this in my life. Worked for the company and literally over 20 people left while I was there for 6 months. Extremely low pay for the amount of work they want you to do. No such thing as true full time with this company. It's like they try to find ways not to pay you 40 hours. ABA needs to be regulated more on the state and federal level. It isn't so they are getting away with a lot of criminal activity. Don't work here.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is important to us as we continually work to improve our workplace experience. While turnover in this industry can be challenging, we are continuing to better our workplace and have rolled out many new initiatives to help our team members. All our clinical leaders are master's level trained and certified ABA professionals, providing mentorship and support to our team. In addition, we invest in ongoing leadership development to ensure our leaders are equipped to provide exceptional care. Hours worked is based on the offer letter at time of hire, and our 40-hour employees work 80% of the time with client care, and the remaining 20% compensated as administrative time. Client care and compliance are our top priorities, and we adhere to all ethical and legal standards. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

Strong collaboration and a supportive team environment, as RBTs have frequent opportunities to work together, share ideas, and problem solve. There are also opportunities to participate in clinic activities, such as decorating for different seasons, creating craft activities, and making DTT materials, which can make the work environment more engaging and creative. Offers somewhat consistent and predictable hours.

Cons

Noticeable high school-like, cliquey atmosphere, which can make the work environment feel exclusionary and uncomfortable at times. The company has also shifted toward a more corporate focus, where leadership decisions often do not prioritize the well-being of RBTs, BCBAs, or clients. This is reflected in practices that may feel unethical, such as keeping the clinic open during unsafe conditions in order to maintain productivity. There are also operational concerns, including reduced administrative time due to notes being replaced by AI, which can impact the quality of documentation and clinical reflection. Staff are often scheduled for back-to-back sessions without adequate breaks, and there have been instances where RBTs are not provided with a lunch break. Additionally, turnover is extremely high, leading to a lack of continuity of care, as clients frequently have to adjust to new therapists. The work culture can also feel tense, with a catty or unsupportive tone from upper management, and HR is often unresponsive when concerns are raised.
