Pros

When I first started at JumpStart, the training was amazing and I felt supported. I felt open to asking questions and letting my trainer know when I needed more support. I appreciated being able to make up hours if my client was out sick through coverage and non-billables.

Cons

After I passed my RBT certification, I did not feel as supported especially when put on coverage. I also started to notice more cliques within the staff and felt like an outsider. The company says they follow sick policies for clients but several times I saw sick clients who physically and mentally were not able to work but didn't have high enough fevers to go home. The company also does not have dedicated time off for being sick so a lot of employees were constantly sick because they couldn't afford to take the time off. The pay is also low compared to other companies and they try to offset this by giving away gift cards which is a nice gesture but does not help pay the bills.

We appreciate the time you took to provide feedback about being part of our JumpStart team. We are so glad you had a positive training experience as we truly see that as an essential component to supporting our team and providing high-quality services for our learners. As an organization, we combine our sick leave and PTO so that our team has more flexibility on how they use their days off. We recognize the importance of time off and have also incorporated ways for staff to receive bonus PTO in addition to their regularly accrued PTO. Our team also receives 80 hours of unpaid time off annually and should have several options when looking at taking time off for their physical and mental health. We have thorough learner and staff illness policies in addition to our infectious disease response plan. We must consider all factors for every situation including if the symptoms are accounted for by another condition as many of our learners have varying medical diagnoses. We do not allow gossip and immediately provide feedback to any employees engaging in it. We are hard to ensure an inclusive and engaging culture.

Pros

Supervisors and management are encouraging, supportive, and present. Co-workers are also supportive, considerate and driven for the purpose of the company. Hours are great (no weekends, and done by 5pm) and pay + benefits are reasonable. Training is in-depth and way above that of other ABA companies. This company is definitely worth the consideration.

Cons

No paid maternity leave, pay is lower at face value or in the beginning compared to other ABA companies, but the other benefits (hours, training, advancement, etc) make it worth it.

Pros

Pay is higher than average, but the best part is that it is almost completely center based. That means hours are much more consistent and they offer "non-billable" tasks that can be performed if a client cancels and you can get paid for them

Cons

Benefits are not great. High burnout. When you're asked to cover you get little to no warning ahead of time.
