False Promises, Fake Upper Ups - Anonymous employee FirstSteps for Kids Employee Review

Wonderful clinical support from industry leaders. Fellow BCBAs and mid levels are collaborative and supportive

Lower end of pay scale

Training staff-very compassionate trainer, always provides consistent support and knowledge. Leads (most of them) are the backbone of the company, one of the leads is absolutely excellent and goes out of her way consistently to support and offer direction/advice etc. -Bcba’s that have been there for a while are great advocates and helpful

SCHEDULING. So many people leave due to consistent issues with the scheduler. Lack of communication with schedule changes, pushing cover sessions on instructors who aren’t comfortable working with kids, unprofessional communication, forgets to schedule breaks and lunches, wrong locations tagged on sessions etc. Although moving up levels is easily attainable, the pay rate is low for expectations. -kids come in sick and aren’t sent home -parking pass required but isn’t factored into the schedule unless you request it
