Pros

If you are looking for a company that works with special needs clients that has their heart in the right place this is for you. You get to meet so many different types of clients and are exposed to different environments that will make you feel empathetic toward these families and kids.

Cons

Where do I even begin? -Extremely stressful on the ABA therapists to make notes and hours up when clients and families would be late constantly but it was on the therapist to make up for the loss time. -Long hours at not only the client's homes when some I felt did not need 3 hours of work, that is a long time for a child much less a special needs child, to be placed with demand after demand. -The people above the ABA therapist were not helpful, they would come and tell you what you were doing wrong and then model it for you but if it was not exactly how it was written out, then it did not count and had to be done all over again. -No work / life balance. Everyone that I worked with no one was married, had kids, had pets, outside hobbies. So of course they did not mind putting in over 40 hours a week even though we were getting paid salary, not hourly. I kept track one week and I work 60 hours but only got paid for 40.
