Horrible Work Culture - Clinical Supervisor- BCaBA Spark Center for Autism Employee Review

They have great ownership towards their clients and employees

The salaries are below average

Extremely knowledgeable in the field of ABA and very passionate about their clients. The company provides strong training and hands-on experience—if you’re interested in becoming a skilled behavior technician, you’ll learn a lot and gain valuable practical knowledge.

The atmosphere at Spark often felt cliquey, more reminiscent of high school or Greek life than a professional environment. In my later years with the company, leadership transitioned to a younger and less experienced team, which contributed to inconsistent management and a lack of professional boundaries. While Spark promotes inclusion for its clients, that value is not consistently reflected among staff. Gossip and favoritism were common, and conflicts were not always handled fairly or investigated thoroughly. Leadership tended to favor those who fit into the “Spark way,” and constructive feedback was not always well-received—especially when it addressed management’s own actions. Ultimately, I decided to move on when it became clear there was limited opportunity for professional growth and that the work environment was negatively impacting my well-being. Since leaving, I’ve found a healthier and more supportive team where my contributions are valued and growth is encouraged. By the looks of the reviews since I left, it appears not much has changed yet.
