Great Company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

- Your timesheet is online and doesn't require an additional signature. - Generous wellness stipend that's flexible in its application. - Representatives of the guidance team are typically responsive and helpful - For those wanting to get an RBT license or work towards being a BCBA they have programs and tracks available to help.

Cons

- Coworkers have often mentioned their guidance team representative isn't as responsive, so who you have correspondence with can change a lot. - Pay is per diem, if the school is closed for whatever reason you don't get paid.
