Pros

Big company with lots of support from coworkers

Cons

It was difficult and took a long time to be able to access BACB approved supervision.

Ponessa Behavioral Health Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Ponessa Behavioral Health is diligent about providing employees the required supervision in relation to their roles, as per state regulations. Our agency requires additional monthly group supervisions, above and beyond state guidelines for BC/MT's, to ensure they are supported sufficiently. If an employee is interested in obtaining personal supervision from our agency, for professional licenses or the BCBA certification, we have policies in place for that process. These policies include successful completion of 90 days of employment and working a minimum of 15 hours per week. Thank you

Pros

Ton of independence, good options for type of employment

Cons

Too much independence--not enough supervision.

Ponessa Behavioral Health Response

Thank you for the review. The Behavior Specialist role is a remote and independent position, giving employees the opportunity to take the lead on consumer cases they oversee. Case Managers and IBHS Coordinators are available to support BC's as needed. We have shared your feedback with the management team. Thank you

Pros

The job itself is very rewarding- there is a lot of flexibility within treatment planning. Mandatory monthly trainings are adequate refreshers of rudimentary topics.

Cons

Poor training, manipulative tactics. You won't ever be told to do something as part of training but gods help you if you mess it up after you're left to wing it, and you absolutely can't ask to get paid for the time you spend trying to muddle through it after not being trained on how (or the time you spend fixing it when they tell you it's not right). Payroll will not care when they mess up your pay. You cannot start full-time, and good luck getting what you're verbally promised, because it will definitely be reduced many times over before you can convince them to put it to paper.

Ponessa Behavioral Health Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad that you have enjoyed the rewarding experience as an MT/BC, along with the ongoing monthly training opportunities. We are disappointed to hear about some of your observations regarding initial training pertaining to the role itself. We take all feedback from current and former employees with the intention to improve company procedures for the better. Most MT/BC clinicians start out part-time as they begin to build their caseload into full-time hours, if desired. We have shared your feedback with the management team. Thank you
