Pros
I have worked at ALP (formerly CLC, AIS, PCFA, and ACT) for many years now and am enjoying this new management team. They are realistic and set attainable goals for all of their employees. They are working hard to not only to make a healthy business, but also working toward providing a lot of staff development across the different positions. There is value placed in clinical expertise and personal growth.
Cons
There is currently a high billable quota required that often puts stress on BCBAs and mid-level supervisors which results in high caseload counts for staff. The DSPs are mostly part time and have a high turn over rate which makes for a lot of entry level training happening. This can be frustrating for not only staff, but also families. I understand that they are related to the change in the management and fixing the business, but the growing pains are real.
