Pros

Training really prepares you for ABA

Cons

well the CEO during our annual meeting accused employees of calling out sick for being hungover. Then some of the supervisors tend to have a lot of favoritism. If you're lucky not to work in the center you will avoid this problem. Employees act like it is high school and talk about everyone and anyone behind there back. They even form clicks, I wouldn't be shocked if they had names for themselves. When going in there you have to brace yourself, because you never know what peoples moods are. Most senior BIs and BIs are overworked because of the high turnover rate. They keep getting clients but still don't have many BIs for them. Under paid for this work. Most companies pay more. HR is horrible I can't even begin explaining. If you never have to deal with them on a serious level than you will do fine. You only get 3 unexcused absences per 6 months and 3 excused doctor absences per 6 months after that you go on probation and possible fired if you have anything else with it like dress code violation or not calling scheduling because you are running late between clients.

Pros

I love the actual job in itself. The job is super fun and working with children is really rewarding. It is the most amazing feeling in the world when a child speaks his/her first words because of you.

Cons

The pay is very low for what is expected of you. The attendance policy is atrocious, and the supervisors actually punish you for taking days off. supervisors give infractions for something petty right after taking a vacation or a sick day. Numerous employees feel this way, especially us that have been there a while. Management shows no respect for the employees, at one point they made us turn in our phones before a shift. They constantly change our shifts without letting us know & they schedule us on Saturdays without warning. My biggest complaint is that they can't keep quality employees because of this, the whole HR & scheduling department is a mess. Employees are jumping ship left & right. I would steer clear from this place if I were you unless you just want the experience.

Pros

There are very few good eggs here but a small handful of supervisors do actually listen, its great experience if you want to learn about autism

Cons

Cliquish. I was falsely accused of 3 major offenses while there in my 9 month employment, i was promised and passed up for promotions several times, I addressed the issues of scheduling, not getting paid for travel time or cell phone usage (even tho they say you get those) as well as personnel conflicts that resulted in me eating in my car for lunches because i was not welcomed there at all. they also don't tell you about how violent or aggressive the kids are, how your clothes will get ruined how you will basically be at their beck and call but get minimum wage... or slightly above. This is definitely NOT worth it for anyone, there are several other better companies to work for. They broke several labor and hr laws, not giving breaks, broadcasting who got bonuses and how much! to the entire company at a meeting. I addressed these issues and more and not only did they not do anything about them and no change was attempted but i was ostracized, alienated and eventually pushed out of the company.
