Verbal Beginnings reviews

-Kids are consistently left under the supervision of employees unfamiliar with each client’s case as well as new hires with no prior ABA experience -Employees are quitting nearly every day, causing schedules to change every hour of the day -Staff are inadequately trained on safety procedures, or not at all -Entry level employees are thrown into the job with barely any training -Some therapists do not treat clients with any sense of dignity, reports to superiors aren’t followed up on due to low staffing -Entry level employees are left feeling unsupported by their team/superiors, even if they have prior experience in this field of work -Upper level staff do nothing to help when you’re having problems besides saying “we’re here for you” -Coworkers on your team can occasionally watch over you and give unsolicited advice when they’re supposed to be working with their own client, leaving a child unsupervised -A work-life balance is preached by higher-ups at the company, but when you ask for help due to an unhealthy work-life balance, nothing is done or you’re retaliated against through more stressful scheduling -Therapists are paid much less here than at other ABA companies, this is why many employees leave

Lack of important documents for new employees(Terms with definitions, schedules, bips and more) most of the information given is word of mouth. I was told different information from a mixture of people which caused a lot of friction and made me look like I was doing a bad job. Its never good being trained different from multiple people. GOSSIP is a HUGE problem there, Im 100% sure Im being talked about just like when I started the techs there including a BCBA spoke poorly about a former employee. I even walked in on a few gossiping about me from team coordinator/bcba to other people in other departments who I don't even come in contact with at all. When you start they will show new employees a video training on gossip which the employees clearly don't care about. Majority of the employees there are in school for ABA so if your new to the ABA field expect to be talked about, it felt like working with a bunch of teens in high school. It was hard maintaining professionalism while hearing employees speak badly about some new techs just because they didn't have any experience. There was a lot more red flags and uncomfortable situations; however, I do not feel like typing it all. Hope this review helps.
