Okay - ABA Therapist Roots Autism Solutions Employee Review

There is a strong level of flexibility in scheduling, which makes it easier to maintain a healthy work–life balance. BCBAs are trusted to manage their caseloads and structure their days in a way that works best for their clients and themselves. There is meaningful freedom to design and implement individualized treatment plans without being restricted to overly rigid templates. Leadership values clinical judgment and allows room for creativity when developing interventions. Caseloads are manageable, and expectations are clear. Administrative support is available when needed, which helps reduce unnecessary stress and allows more focus on client care. Overall, the role offers a good balance of independence, flexibility, and support, making it a sustainable and rewarding place to practice as a BCBA.

Like any BCBA role, the work can be demanding. The field itself carries a high level of responsibility, including managing clinical decisions, supporting staff, and navigating complex family dynamics. These challenges are inherent to the profession and are not specific to Roots. That said, despite the natural demands of the field, I genuinely enjoy working here and feel supported in managing those challenges.

Great coworkers and decent pay

Cleaning tasks were delegated to RBTs even though this was not in our job description and we received no extra compensation for it. No opportunities for indirect hours. Management was very inflexible and generally unprofessional. Also the rate of PTO accumulation was absolutely abysmal - I think I accumulated maybe 1 hour of PTO after working there full time for 8-9 months.
