Pros

Open door policy! Even if supervisors are busy, they will always try to make time to listen to any issues you are having and help figure out a professional solution to the problem. Training is amazing! This company does not slack off when it comes to training employees! The clinical staff really does care about the staff and tries to address any issues and resolve them so that the employees stay happy

Cons

Scheduling is sometimes frustrating to deal with, because time-off requests are not always communicated well, and schedules are given out late and often times a 'full-time' employee will only be scheduled for 12 hours. Instructors have no say in the schedule, we just have to go where we are asked.

Pros

Training staff-very compassionate trainer, always provides consistent support and knowledge. Leads (most of them) are the backbone of the company, one of the leads is absolutely excellent and goes out of her way consistently to support and offer direction/advice etc. -Bcba’s that have been there for a while are great advocates and helpful

Cons

SCHEDULING. So many people leave due to consistent issues with the scheduler. Lack of communication with schedule changes, pushing cover sessions on instructors who aren’t comfortable working with kids, unprofessional communication, forgets to schedule breaks and lunches, wrong locations tagged on sessions etc. Although moving up levels is easily attainable, the pay rate is low for expectations. -kids come in sick and aren’t sent home -parking pass required but isn’t factored into the schedule unless you request it
