Pros
As a full-time employee with Hopebridge for a year and half I've been witness to a lot of pros within the company: 1. Accessibility to executive management has been incredibly beneficial; both as a therapist during Meet and Eat meetings and as a manager within the clinic; I've witnessed changes occur in response to specific feedback from current employees. 2. The company offers a very competitive wage; with opportunities for multiple bonuses and full benefits. Paid Time Off is also available upon start without having to "earn" your time off. 3. The company has a solid business model led by individuals with a background in building successful businesses. In order to provide effective therapy and continue to treat patients, the doors have to stay open, and I never worry about that within this company. 4. Access to experts in the field helps assure effective treatment and problem solve when a patient does not exhibit the desired trajectory. The consulting BCBA-D on staff is incredibly helpful, accessible, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Offering education to the staff as a means of finding a solution to creating more effective treatment protocols. He pushes the clinicians to grow their knowledge without leading them directly to the answer.
Cons
The company is experiencing astounding growth and with growth often comes growing pains. My only cons to date would be some discrepancies within the recruiting department, and sometimes needing quicker access to necessary resources with rapid growth; both materials/supplies, and curriculum/programming resources.
