Pros

Made some great friends with other therapists; families and children were wonderful to work with. Some of the supervisors were great, but they unfortunately didn't last long. I learned a LOT about ABA interventions for someone who did not pursue a BCBA. The shared control approach was highly effective ( pivotal response). Laminator and materials for making stimuli. great to see families gather to company events and feel safe and accepted...something they struggle with in public regularly.

Cons

Interesting how there is a pattern of raving reviews written with the same promotional writing style in between hugely concerning reviews. I don't know anyone who would advertise mundane benefits in a review such as " 401K, benefits, bonuses and competitive pay!". Who are you kidding. I worked here a few years ago and needless to say, I struggled greatly. The insatiable expectation to be sensational while being micromanaged by sups was only the beginning. I would receive feedback...implement the feedback the following session only to be told I should do it differently. This cycle continued over time so I started emailing the supervisor to "confirm" the feedback given with a paper trail. I started writing lots of detailed emails. One particular supervisor became so obsessed with the work I was doing that he was asked to stop coming to my sessions by upper management....which he violated and came to my next session and just stared at me with his arms crossed. Didn't say a word. HR handled the matter by switching my cases. So I quit as I did not want to work in a place where such behavior was tolerated. CSH encouraged double billing as often as possible especially during groups. This made me uncomfortable. Calling out sick was a nightmare so I worked while feeling ill, even with a virus once. It takes years for a therapist to be " eligible" for consideration as a case manager. The internal growth moves at an acient pace.

Hi, thank you for review. We encourage a family culture here at Creative Solutions for Hope and do our best to create activities and events to engage our employees. We do offer a lot of learning opportunities and this company is a great place to grow and develop your skills. I apologize that your experience was not all positive. We do not ask or encourage our employees to write 5-Star Reviews on Glassdoor or any other review site. We only encourage feedback by our employees so that we can better ourselves as a company. The Supervisor's behavior that you experienced is completely inappropriate and not at all tolerated here. We have a communication plan in place so that this confusion does not occur. Regarding sick time, we do not allow our employees to work in the clients' homes while ill. Regarding growth, we do have a role for every step in the company. Employees start out as an Entry-Level Behavior Therapist, then after getting your RBT, they will become a Registered Behavior Technician. Then, we have three level of our Senior Therapists. After that we do have our Case Managers, which do require a Master's degree. For traveling, we do try to keep our therapists within a 25 mile radius of their homes. However, we do ask during your interview that you list cities that make up your travel range, so you may be placed in those cities as well. For hours, we match your availability with the client's availability. So, the more availability that you provide us, the more likely we are able to schedule you. Our peak hours are weekdays 2-8pm and we do ask that you also have one weekend day available. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please email us at info@cs4hope.com.

Pros

- Great management! They are very supportive when you are not feeling well or are having a hard time with clients! - It is pretty easy to move up in the career ladder as long as you are dedicated. The BCBAs are willing to help out!

Cons

- Reroutes do get difficult sometimes. When your client cancels, there may be a chance you do not earn hours since you may not get reroutes.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're glad to hear you feel supported by our management team and are finding opportunities for growth. We truly value your dedication and contributions. We understand that reroutes can be challenging, especially when cancellations happen on short notice. While it can be difficult to reroute you to a new client under those circumstances, please know that we do everything possible to help mitigate the impact. We also encourage you to stay communicative with your managers and the scheduling team—especially if a client shows a pattern of cancellations—so we can provide the best possible support. Thanks again for being a valued member of the CSH team!

Pros

Higher wages than most other ABA companies.

Cons

Ridiculously large caseloads. They hired basically anyone and then didn’t adequately train them. This led to really poor BT performance. HR was very unprofessional and made people constantly scared for their jobs. There was really only one BCBA who would come up occasionally for supervision (she was great) but otherwise there weren’t any competent BCBAs providing supervision. The turnover at the company was worse than others, which is saying something.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We do want to address a number of statements in this review, as they don’t accurately reflect how our organization operates or what most of our team experiences. Caseloads are not ridiculously large as described. They are intentionally built to support our Case Managers in maintaining full-time schedules. We take factors such as cancellations and client availability into account to ensure staff have consistent hours to pull from. Caseloads are also reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed to support our team while maintaining a high standard of care for our clients. In the same way, the comment about training is not consistent with our process. Behavior Technicians go through structured onboarding and receive ongoing support and supervision to help them succeed in their roles. The claim that there was only one BCBA providing supervision is also not accurate. We have multiple qualified BCBAs who are actively involved in supervision, case oversight, and supporting staff on a regular basis. We also take pride in maintaining a professional and supportive workplace. The characterization of HR as unprofessional or creating fear does not reflect our approach. Our goal is always to communicate clearly, support employees, and create a stable work environment. Regarding hiring and turnover, we maintain hiring standards and work hard to build and retain a strong team. While turnover can happen in this field, the way it’s described here is not representative of our overall organization. Finally, our expansion into the Bay Area was driven by the need for services, not for the reasons suggested in this review. We expanded thoughtfully and have continued investing in the people and structure needed to support both our staff and the families we serve. We understand that not every individual experience is the same, but it’s important to clarify that several of the points raised here are not an accurate portrayal of our company. We remain focused on continuous improvement and providing a positive environment for both employees and clients.
