Autism Spectrum Therapies Employee Reviews about "raise"

Pros

Have great support from supervisor

Cons

Cant remember the last time I got a raise

Pros

Amazing company, great team of supervisors who really care about the clients and the Autism community. Supportive environment and rewarding work.

Cons

Low wages and not enough raises.

Pros

I, luckily, had great supervisors (although I ran into not so great ones). I got a raise after 6 months and although Im not working full-time, I still get my benefits because I was hired full-time, although that doesn't help my pay check.

Cons

Some supervisors don't necessarily implement the most effective interventions. Also, not very many hours are offered. I was hired full-time and barely get 20 hours a week. If I'm lucky, I get alternate cases but that makes my schedule variable and unpredictable. Makes it hard to plan a social life, not to mention balancing school full time.

Pros

The kids are adorable. Home sessions can be lots of fun depending on the client. Rewarding to see progress in Cx's.

Cons

This company does not value their employees. No pay raises or incentives to grow Opportunity for growth is contingent on you furthering your education. Cancellations

Pros

Overall, great training program. AST has one of the best training for most ABA companies. AST offers a great cancellation policy, benefits, PTO, and supervisors. This company tries their best to give you a full schedule if needed.

Cons

BI's do not get any recognition from office staff, which can make you feel lonely and unappreciated. No room to grow even if you are working towards your Master's in ABA. No pay raises or promotions. Low collaboration opportunities. The only staff collaboration you get is from 'monthly' trainings that only take plave every 3-6 months. No paid holidays which sucks because you have to use your PTO to get paid on holidays. No incentives given for good / hard work. Bi's deserve to be given some form of praise more frequently and AST does not do that unless you work in their office.In fact, when you enter the office most of the time you are not even noticed unless you work social skills.

Pros

Great company to work for.

Cons

Too big of a company not to give raises.

Pros

-Hours are consistent -Work materials needed for role are provided -Available to get COVID vaccine -Twice a year performance raises (except they only hedge inflation) -The families make it all worth it in the end. -Easy to communicate with supervisors. -Can cover other cases and clients in order to increase hours. -Drive time and mileage paid. -Health insurance offered for employees. -401k match. -Have the ability to move up to full time as a technician.

Cons

-BURN. OUT. IS. REAL. (Management/Supervisors don't care about feeling overwhelmed because they need *billable hours* - billable hours get supervisors bonuses but not technicians at all) -Does not promote an environment that allows staff to be themselves at work. This is done by supervisors openly talking down about their staff in the office with other supervisors where anyone can hear, including a technician working in a cubicle. This is also done by favoritism and seniority affecting the feedback being given to staff members. One staff can use curse words at work that has been there for 10 years but another staff member who has been there for 2 years can't use words such as "awesome." -Concerns from lower level staff members related to the culture at the company and the feeling of inclusiveness is pushed aside in order to keep the system at the company the same with improvement for staff well being at every level.

Pros

Building rapport and feeling support from the families I worked with Obtained supervision hours, thank you!

Cons

Low employee morale High turn-over Constant changes to supervision with employees and families. No consistency Snobby management Minimal pay raises Families and Clients are not their number 1 priority...all about making money for the company. Pushed hours on families (to make money) Lack of staff performance monitoring and reinforcement systems Act like they encourage professional development, yet had no empathy for when scheduling to take BCBA exam

Pros

The supervision is great and they offer a lot of training.

Cons

The pay is low & raises are not much

Pros

401k match and positive work environment.

Cons

Low base pay and they play hardball for raises.
