Compare Verbal Behavior Center for Autism vs Applied Behavior Center for Autism

Pros

Friendly employees, small company with opportunity for growth, job is for a good cause, you get to see improvement of clients over time, $0.45/ mi from client to client, willingness to give insurance... even at 30 hr/wk, paid training

Cons

Low starting wage ($16 for direct service, $15 for everything else), low hours (contract only guarantees hours for the first three months- currently offers 20-40 hrs/wk), a lot of office work that is... mind-numbing (finding pictures, cutting, laminating, putting papers in binders, organizing), pretty much have to become rBT (which they don't offer compensation for), a ton of driving (upwards of 2.5 hr/day, 300 mi/week), requires a lot of patients (a lot of noncompliance seen with clients), uncomfortable client settings (you are guaranteed to sweat during summer because they don't put on AC)

Pros

Above average pay rate , supervisor taught me a lot. Kids are great.

Cons

Had a few challenges with parents, scheduling or unreasonable demands. but nothing major. Supervisor and management were always there to help.
