Pros

Big, fun and beautiful center!

Cons

The company operates in a way that feels far more focused on protecting itself than supporting either its clients or employees. Staff are required to submit a 4-week notice in order to receive their earned PTO payout, yet employees often feel pressured or pushed out before that payout can happen. There is a significant lack of client-centered care, with decisions appearing to prioritize company policies and profits over the actual needs of clients and direct staff. Support from leadership, especially CDs and some newer BCBAs, is inconsistent and often inadequate, leaving RBTs feeling unsupported and overwhelmed. Employees are also not compensated for downtime between sessions, despite many other ABA companies offering clock-in/clock-out systems that fairly pay staff for their time. Burnout is extremely common due to constant policy changes, unrealistic expectations, and a general lack of appreciation or care for RBT well-being. New rules seem to appear weekly with little communication or consistency, creating a stressful and unstable work environment.

Pros

The team cares about you, from your peer therapists up to leadership/management. Both your mental and physical health matter and it shows through their policies.

Cons

Not so much of a con as it is more of a forewarning, but this job would not be a good fit for you if you are easily overstimulated.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad to hear that you feel supported by both your peers and leadership - creating an environment where mental and physical well-being are prioritized is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate you highlighting the nature of the work. Being transparent about the environment helps ensure the right fit for everyone, and your perspective is valuable for those considering joining the team. And we couldn’t agree more, spirit days are a favorite! It’s always great to see everyone’s personalities shine and to share those lighter moments together. Thanks again for your kind words and for being such an important part of the team!
