Great company

Pros

Very ethical company, not focused on profit and maximizing billable hours, caseloads are manageable and locations are planned to minimize drive time, hourly pay gives more work life balance, opportunities for promotion and taking on projects, strong admin team allows bcbas to focus more on clinical work and less on scheduling/billing, company seeks out employee feedback and actually makes changes based on that feedback, continuing focus on inclusion and diversity, ongoing mentoring even for bcbas, lower BT turnover rate relative to other ABA companies

Cons

No work phone provided and supervisors end up having to give their personal phone numbers to clients or else rely on email, no paid CEUs for hourly supervisors even if they are billing more than 25 hours per week, medicaid clients are only seen in 2:1 staffing ratio regardless of their level of need

Great ideals, yet little to no execution

Pros

The company hires amazing employees that clearly demonstrate the company’s values and care about their work. The company has great values.

Cons

Though the company has wonderful ideas, there is little or no execution or follow through. Lack of communication across staff on different levels (admin, supervisors, BTs all said different things when asked how to do something), mentorship program had little to no clarity what was expected, how to get it done. Lack of opportunities to demonstrate and practice skills. No one ever seemed to know what was going on. Lack of proactive planning and company preparation to support you as an employee if you want to continue to expand on your career in the field.
