      Pros

      1. fairly good BT training provided upon hiring that can help you become a RBT 2. overall focus is on providing compassionate ABA services to their clients 3. company has somewhat of a good reputation compared to other agencies

      Cons

      1. Unprofessional program directors who GOSSIP and have "clique" vibes 2. Quick to throw micro aggressions your way and refuse to take accountability for their remarks 3. Scheduling forces you to cover sessions for clients you don't even know and you get punished for refusing to cover

      Pros

      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

      Cons

      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
