Pros

Working with the families was rewarding. Some of my coworkers were great and I was always learning.

Cons

The work environment could get a little "mean girls" and there seemed to be a lot of secrets with upper management. Once I was at a work luncheon and I was privy to several directors smack talking about previous employees in front of myself and other instructors. I learned to trust no one.

Good company, poor treatment of employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Top notch programming for clients. If you are looking to learn more about ABA you definitely will here. Very high expectations of performance across all positions.

Cons

Very exclusive, cliquey atmosphere around the office. Upper staff would tell you something was going to happen (e.g. regarding clients, future at company, etc.) and these things never ended up happening. The majority of their lessons and programming are based off of a model from another company's, but they act as if the programming ideas are their own original ideas.

Pros

The training programs are excellent; very hands on and thorough. The working environment is collaborative and supportive. There are many research opportunities available and room for growth within the company.

Cons

The job involves a lot of driving, but the scheduling team tries to minimize that as much as possible.
