Pros

ACES has some great training and flashy company perks.

Cons

Please don't buy into the idea that the needs of BI's are important to management. If we're only getting paid when clients show up, our livelihood isn't of priority to the company; only our labor is. I was told that on weeks that clients canceled, I would be given admin work. When this happened and I asked after admin work, I was told no every time. Can't tell if this was a lie or a self-delusion on their part. Getting supervision was also pretty difficult. I think I got under 20 hours in the year I was working with clients. Despite all the praise I got for being a top performer, I was turned down when I asked for a pay raise. I was being paid $15/hr; a different clinic in the area offered me $22. Someone told me once that "passion" in a company's mission statement will mean they expect a culture of overwork. I saw this in my ACES trainer in Cali, who was answering emails at midnight. It's not the worst ABA company I've ever seen, just don't believe everything (anything?) management says and be aware your hours will likely be cut at some point.

Pros

barely any pros. the kiddos themselves and the relationships with them you build.

Cons

RUN. cash cow private equity company. They used to be a great company until as of late. Now it’s all about chasing the money . They fired an entire team just to use AI for scheduling that doesn’t know what a “schedule” or “availability /hours available” are. and if you don’t just say yes to the 1 hour warning text from an AI bot? good luck not getting written up and talked down to. The force you to use your personal phone and blow it up through the entire day , but don’t pay a phone stipend or provide a work phone. turn over is insane to the point “new” RBT’s don’t even know who the clinic director is and thinks they are a fellow RBT. most gossip and clique together and if you don’t belong within that- good luck getting any support or guidance.
