Cons

It is mentally draining, the pay is low, and driving the drive can be exhausting.

Pros

Lots to learn Room for growth Rewarding

Cons

Pay could be better benefits could be better Scheduling

Pros

This company really cares for their clients and I've learned so much just by being on the field and working with different children. Training helps a ton and teaches you exactly how to utilize software.

Cons

There are limited hours and we don't get paid the same base rate when clients cancel. Despite having experience and a degree, I'm only paid the starting pay rate.

Pros

Large company= support for HR,IT, trainings etc.

Cons

This company is a clique environment. If you are friends with the right people, you will go places. Experience, tenure or actual qualifications don’t really matter. Feedback you may give will be met with punitive action in some way in the future. If you are hired on because you have friends in the right places, you will likely be fine. If not, prepare yourself to look elsewhere or to be pushed around as a pawn.

Pros

very rewarding great resources for mental health lots of room for growth

Cons

could be more in depth training

Pros

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at AST. Great mentorship by my supervisor and directors. Loved the toy room and level of support on all front.

Cons

Hours were tough as I worked the late-late shift, but that's where most of the needs are with the kids and families.

Pros

Great support from management, inclusive culture, great entry work

Cons

Typical too big ABA company, inefficient protocols and data collection system, delay in problem solving due to inability to do anything without parent company approval

Pros

You'll regret working here, so I advise you not to.

Cons

You'll regret working here. This is a terrible company that is led by ineffective management. The managers have awful attitudes, and they are very disrespectful and condescending toward us employees. Avoid this company if possible. Employees don't deserve this kind of horrible treatment anyways.

Pros

The kids are obviously the biggest part of the job and the best part of the job. Seeing them finally master a skill is the rewarding part as well as the bonds you form with each of them. The coworkers are like a dysfunctional family sometimes but that is to be expected when you have many personalities in one place. Overall though, they have your back and most importantly they have the kids backs. For the most part, everyone is willing to help you! Management could use some ( a lot) of work but they are also willing to hear to hear your concerns and help in anyway they can. Bottom line: This is a hard job. Show up and do your job. If it’s too hard—quit. Don’t ruin it for the kids and the people who actually want to be there.

Cons

The pay is inconsistent High turnover rate No lunch breaks (you eat when the kids eat)
