Pros
-Better pay than the average ABA company -Some supervisors are nice
Cons
-No annual review unless you ask -Emails/phone calls/text messages 7 days a week from 7am-9pm. The expectation is that you respond immediately (lack of work/life balance despite being told it's a priority) -Praise for night owls who "work until midnight to get that report done" -Management prefers admin team over clinical team (admin team gets potlucks, their offices are right next to management, policies and procedures cater to them vs. clinical team who is downstairs/not invited to potlucks/doesn't have their own offices/doesn't get a seat at the table in the policies and procedures) -Punishment for mistakes, no reinforcement for improvement/outcomes for clients -Caseloads are all over OC, a lot of drive time which leads to a LONG work day with potentially only 4-5 hours billed -No clinical trainings based on ABA research, they are all about admin (laws, templates, insurance expectations) -Lack of being challenged clinically, as long as you bill a lot, you are well liked -12 hour days (first case starting at 8 and ending at 8). If you say no to a case, the scheduling department will remember and penalize you in the future (e.g. "you said no to a previous case, so you clearly don't want the hours") -Report writing is more about template organization and less about clinical quality and progress of client -You are given a report card on tasks you need to improve on, but no direct 1:1 training/tools to meet those goals -Managing high cancellation rate with little authority to actually manage the situation
