Pros

decent program, fun to work with kids.

Cons

poor training - mostly in-house with no seminars/courses, not worth the $5000 bond with essentially prevents people from quitting. management is arrogant and the boss, D tends to raise inappropriate and sexist topics at work. At times, directed to staff. No compensation for medical, transport, etc. no sympathy even if you have a family crisis or if you are ill. Quite mercenary as many clients have feedbacked. Management tried to also suggest therapists work on weekends - but would receive no extra compensation, instead, we would get weekdays off. Also, we have monthly meetings outside office hours which we aren't paid for. This makes us seem mercenary too but it's just because we are not paid enough for all the traveling we need to do on this job and it's not fair that we don't get fair treatment at work. And there are way too many foreign workers at this company. At least half the staff are not locals.

Pros

Hands on experience with autism children

Cons

Company uses bond (18 months) of $5000 to $7000 to keep their staff from leaving the company (2 months notice period). Turnover rates are high because of the management (bad planning of schedule, no SMM, children have to share rooms with each other) , benefits (7 days AL, questioned MC) , and how therapist has back to back sessions without breaks. Every 1st week of the Saturdays, therapist have to stay back for at least 2 hours (no paid) for 'meetings' that are unnecessary. During meetings therapists are not separated into small groups. Employer (D), always give negative remarks (Sexism, inappropriate comments on physical looks, racism), demoralise staff moral and giving erroneous feedbacks to parents about child's progress. Although D is the head of the company, he do not understand the main processes and children's progress. If rating is not needed, I would not even give a star to this company. Please consider carefully before making an attempt to join.

Pros

- Great colleagues and supervisors. - Love the methodology of ABA. - Training by supervisors were great.

Cons

- Management is absolutely messy, admin has been changed out 5 times in 8 months, documents are not kept properly, leading employees to have to retrieve and clean up after them after they lose the documents. - Medical leave will always be questioned irregardless, they also use MC as a form of KPI and judgement of the quality of the therapist as well as reason for termination. - Vaccinations were delayed when it was available and MOH asked for our names but the boss refused to send our names for a while as he did not believe in the vaccination. He also tried to persuade us not to go for it. They only gave SOME of our names later on because we insisted. - No transparency in the company, secrets are being kept from clients to employees and some supervisors. They lie to the clients regarding all the mishaps that happen as well as the credentials of themselves. - Many under table transactions and biased. Prices for clients are different based on their personal decisions. They recommend doctors who give out supplements to the children to get a cut out of the sales. - Bosses air their dirty laundry in the company as they are husband and wife. They also often use racist, sexist and inappropriate words/comments on their employees, clients and the children. Absolutely unacceptable.
