Pros

The kids and making a difference in their lives everyday. If you actually do your job which no ones does there.

Cons

Horrible management!! Nobody knows what they are doing! So many changes constantly. So many people just sit around all day and don't teach the kids anything, very sad. There are some good workers and therapists that work there and work really hard! But most people there don't care about the kids and just sit around all day letting the kids do whatever they want. Things aren't clean, things are not up to code.

Pros

The kids and the hours

Cons

The culture within the company is very self serving the leads program managers and the clinical supervisors are not available to the BTs unless they are "watching you " behind your back this is very much a high school mentality anyone who comes in with an education seems to do poorly when it comes to advancement the kids are not respected as they should be in many cases leads and above are down right mean to the kids I was told that is in line with the tenets of ABA I know I would not want my child treated that way this place is constantly in turmoil because no one knows what is going on

Pros

Pay was pretty decent *if* you finshed your comps which earn you raises, had some amazing coworkers, AMAZING KIDS, great schedule.

Cons

HR is impossible to get to help with real issues, anytime something breaks it gets removed without replacement (you can’t get a kid to do anything for you if there’s nothing there to reinforce them because it’s all broke), admin staff and corporate staff need to be more transparent about things that effect the entire company, VERY high turnover rate for both entry level positions and administrative positions, 8 hours days with 1 unpaid break (Woodbury center), can be very cliquey, can be challenging work especially if you’re not used to working with ASD kids, up until recently you were not allowed to bring toys for the kids to play with or your own personal back pack to carry things around, it always felt like admin was spying and try to catch people doing things wrong instead of doing their actual jobs, most lead therapists let their title and what little power they actually had get to their heads and would go on ego trips, PTO was a joke, paid holidays are great but having Black Friday off unpaid isn’t same goes for the days around other federal holidays, very negative vibes in general.
