Apollo Behavior

I really enjoy being a case supervisor at Apollo. Apollo is a growing company and the thing that I really value that I have not seen at other ABA companies in this region is that the upper management works to do better when they receive feedback. While the pace at which improvement is made might not be fast enough for some, I genuinely can say that Apollo is better off in 2023 than it was in 2021 after taking feedback from its employees. As a case supervisor, your day is primarily comprised of providing protocol modification and parent training, but you also get to manage your own team of RBTs that consistently treat your clients. I find that this model is great for generalization and for giving RBTs more variety in the clients. Another benefit of working here is getting to benefit from collaboration with the Chief Clinical Officer, Clinical Directors, and other Case Supervisors. As an early-career BCBA, I have learned so much in a relatively short period of time. Overall, the workplace culture is positive, and the turnover rate is lower than the industry average, which reduces the frustration that comes with constantly training new staff. There is also a department dedicated to training and clinical quality, which is rare in a smaller company.

As for the hardest parts of the job, working for a growing company can be tricky in that policies are being put into place as we grow. While this can be frustrating sometimes, I appreciate that if I ask why a policy is being put into place, I know that someone in leadership will give me their rationale without being defensive. Being allowed and encouraged to ask questions is empowering. 

Our former OM definitely had favorites in the clinic. They would get the “easier” clients from their own and different pods with admin while stacking the rest of our schedules with clients. That led to many people quitting in the span of a few months after becoming certified since one bad encounter with her would get you the worst schedules for weeks. The interim OM has definitely alleviated our schedules since I don’t feel as burnt out as I used to. Having someone come in who does not know us helped since no favoritism occurs. We get admin spread out throughout pods unlike before plus you don't hear refresh schedules every hour anymore since the interim OM is amazing at scheduling. The CS RBT genuinely has the best personality and the client’s here love them. They plan out fun activities for us almost every month. You get to work with amazing people and clients who support in time of need. We get catered lunch at the first Friday of every month which is great! I wish we did get paid more and sick pay since working with kids has you getting sick a couple of times in the year. I hope whoever they hire for the OM gets trained well, doesn’t engage in favoritism or else it’ll be like the past few months all over again. 

Working at Apollo is what you make of it! When you first apply you do two weeks of training which consists of watching videos to earn your RBT certification and also shadowing a lead. Training to handle difficult behaviors doesn't really occur until you're hands on with the kids or when there is a staff development day. There are good benefits and expectations are pretty clear. A typical day for an RBT is working 1:1 with a kid or maybe a group session which consists of only two kids. On a given day you can see anywhere from two to four kids, depending on the schedule. Speaking of the schedule, it can change last minute due to call outs from staff or kids. The company loves to promote from within which is wonderful! Once a week we cater lunch for all the employees in the clinic. The workplace culture varies from clinic to clinic, but overall you can tell everyone loves working with the kids and watching the growth that is made. The hardest part of this job is not feeling burned out since you're working with the kids every day. The most enjoyable part of this job is making a connection with these kids and watching them grow. The milestones that are achieved here speak volumes to the work the RBTs put into their sessions.

What's the best part working here?
The best part working here was definitely the kids and the staff. I very much liked my coworkers and many of my supervisors. At DL you'll have a pretty seamless introduction because of how comfortable your coworkers make you feel.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Definitely the scheduling for me. It is a fairly demanding job and there are a lot of different behaviors present. It would be one thing if the job was conscious of the RBTs health and how these longer sessions with some clients affect it, but I felt little support from higher management staff and you should take that into consideration before applying.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Honestly Mixed. The people themselves are fine, but I would be lying if I said it was easy. You can very easily see some rough behaviors for long durations in the day. This comes with the field of course, but the support I feel like I got during these behaviors could've been better. I wouldn't say it's the most optimal place to make money if that's what you're here for. That being said, if you're interested in stepping into ABA for the cause itself, then it isn't a bad place to start out. There's just a lot of demands so you should be conscious of what you're stepping into.

As someone who spent the majority of their nights and weekends "catching up" on tasks for my old job, I can't tell you enough what a relief it was to be able to leave my work computer on my desk most nights and weekends. Sure, theres the occasional night where I take it home to get ahead, or work on a project that I enjoy, but for the most part I am able to enjoy my time outside of the clinic, work free. This is so important in this field, and helps prevent burn out. Apollo also prides itself on ensuring the RBTs and BCBAs have access to all of the executive team members. They will walk around the buildings and greet you by name, and genuinely care about you as a person. Feedback is welcomed, culture is high energy and positive. As a "newer" company we often have to work together to iron out the details for small things, but thats a benefit in my opinion. It's been fun to be a part of something that is growing and adapting. As a BCBA you receive a bonus just for hitting your billable requirement (not for over billing like some companies). BCBAs also receive weekly rounds with their clinical director so that they can ask for suggestions or a second opinion. Clinical directors and BCBAs are actually on site so BCBAs and RBTs have plenty of support. 

I started with Apollo Behavior as an RBT. Though the work was challenging and unlike any job I'd had before, it was incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Seeing the impact that my work had on the children I was treating everyday gave me a strong sense of purpose and the motivation to show up and go the extra mile everyday. I was not alone in this experience, as all of my team members were always there and ready to support me with anything I may need. 

After 6 months of working as an RBT with an awesome team and fantastic BCBA's, I was promoted to Apollo's business department. The internal hiring process was different at Apollo compared to other companies I'd worked for in the past. The leadership seeks out strong candidates from within and aims to advance them not only into roles that fit the company needs, but ones that suit the employees needs and interests as well. 

All said, my career at Apollo has been rewarding and purposeful. My time as an RBT helped grow me into a better leader and teammate, while my promotion has helped me find a career path that I love and might not have found otherwise. I would recommend this company to anyone who values the impact of their work and wants to grow professionally.


 I am thrilled to recommend Apollo Behavior, where I have enjoyed working for the past year. Apollo not only prioritizes professional growth but also fosters a positive work environment. One of Apollo's standout aspects is its commitment to a solid clinical model, collaboration within the BCBA team, and direct access to the leadership team. The leadership team fosters open communication and values employee feedback, creating a culture of continuous improvement. 
Additionally, the training of incoming RBTs at Apollo Behavior is excellent. Each new RBT employee receives extensive hands-on training by certified trainers before sitting for their RBT exam or starting to work one-on-one with a client. As a BCBA you maintain direct contact with your team and communicate with families, fostering a strong working relationship that benefits the client.
Working at Apollo this past year has been a pleasure. I highly recommend it for BCBAs seeking to enhance their clinical skills, gain education within the field, and work in a client-centered environment.

Before, starting at Apollo I previously had zero ABA experience. I appreciate the fact that Apollo welcomes all employees with many different work backgrounds. I was able to get good and effective training that helped me become a great RBT. 

Apollo has some of the best BCBAs that are always onsite to support all RBT's. All employees were super welcoming and supportive when I first started. Not only do I have some great co-workers but have also made some great friends.

Not long after joining Apollo, I applied for an internal job and was grateful to get an interview. I now have been promoted to work on in the Human Resources Department. I can say without a doubt I genuinely enjoy my job and the co-workers I have and continue to work with with. 

If you are looking for a supportive team and a company who truly cares I recommend joining the Apollo team.  It has great people who want to help you grow and flourish within their company. 

I can confidently say this has been one of the best career decisions I've made! 

From day one, I felt welcomed into a supportive and dynamic team. The culture here is all about collaboration and innovation, which makes every day exciting. They talk about their core values on day one, and actually put them to work, which is very refreshing! 

What I Love About Apollo:

Team Collaboration: The team is filled with passionate professionals who share ideas and support each other. It truly feels like a family!

Professional Development: Apollo prioritizes growth, offering plenty of training and mentorship opportunities to help you advance in your career. They also hire a ton from within. A lot of my colleagues have been promoted, which has been very inspiring to see. 

Meaningful Impact: Working with our clients is incredibly rewarding. Watching them progress and thrive is the highlight of my job.

I have enjoyed working at Apollo. Following orientation day, the first two weeks is training with a certified trainer. Once you are licensed and begin treating clients, there are so many resources available if you feel stuck or need a break. Apollo has a structured raise  scale set up which is nice to know when you will receive a raise and the amount. Although it is not based on your specific work done, just time completed at the company. 
There is room for growth and advancement. I have worked here for about a year and have already received 2 promotions that I applied for. 
This is a hard job mentally at times but luckily the BCBA's are amazing and provide feedback and support throughout your sessions when needed. The other RBTs in your pod also provide support as they understand exactly what your day entails. 
I would recommend working here if you enjoying playing and learning with children. This job requires a large amount of patience, understanding, and compassion.
