ABA Pathways reviews about "management"

Very disorganized and management is not the best. There is a strange favoritism to different RBTs. Because the clinic is so small drama spreads like wild fire. A lot of these people (even management) seem to start drama.

You will be micromanage from day one. As a supervisor, you are not allowed to make your schedule ever. This means that if you have a doctors or dentist appointment, you will have to make up those hours. Management is typically unavailable at all times. You are expected to be either in the center or at home for 40 hours a week and that must be accountable. While at the company, I was forced to spend multiple hours up to four or five doing nothing based on their motto statement. You are treated like an entry-level employee from day one. If this is your first ABA job, you might not know better however, most companies just require you to meet a minimal of 25 hours. This place expects you to be present and doing nothing for the other hours. What they don’t tell you is that you have to wait three months to get any sort of benefits either. They claimed to be a nonprofit however they work style is very for-profit. I would highly recommend you not apply to this company, unless you are absolutely desperate.

It can be stressful on days and schedules tend to change often (at least currently).

No real benefits, poor management, no workable hours, poor wages

Management started out fine, but rapidly went downhill. I did above & beyond my required duties and management often had high expectations for me. When I did make a mistake or didn’t know something, they would be a lot harder on me than others. The work place wasn’t a very equal environment. The work/life balance as a Tech was minimal, I can't imagine what it was like for supervisors. Management would often change things without asking any Techs what they would think, even though it would affect them the most. The last year there, they allowed so much drama and bullying, it was ridiculous. They often allowed those people to move up in the company as well. The turnover rate is very high, they allow certain employees to call in frequently but then if an employee calls in who doesn’t frequently they get talked to.

If your client doesn’t show up, there is the potential to not get paid. You can ask coworkers if they want to day off and can take their client, which is often the case, but if not, there is nothing for you to do and you go home. One perk is if it was a cancellation with less than 24 hour notice, the company will pay you for one hour, which is better than nothing!

-sometimes parents cancel and that can be challenging -benefits are still being developed.
