I’ve had the pleasure of working at ABC for almost 3 years, and it has been a truly rewarding experience. One of the things that sets this company apart is its commitment to promoting from within. It’s encouraging to know that hard work and dedication are recognized, and there are clear opportunities for career advancement.

Another standout feature is the annual performance review process, which is both fair and constructive. The reviews not only provide valuable feedback but also come with the potential for a raise, reflecting the company’s investment in its employees' growth.

Leadership training is something ABC takes seriously. The company offers numerous opportunities to develop leadership skills, ensuring employees have the tools and knowledge to excel in their roles and grow into new ones.

The flexibility to work from home in both clinical and operational roles is a huge plus, allowing for a great work-life balance. It’s clear that the company understands the importance of flexibility, which has made it much easier to balance personal and professional commitments.

One of the things I value most about working here is the safe environment for open dialogue. Management encourages employees to share their ideas and opinions, and it’s okay to disagree. This creates a collaborative environment where new ideas can flourish.

Management at ABC operates with integrity and sets a strong example for the rest of the team. It’s refreshing to work for leaders who genuinely care about their employees and the work they do.

Lastly, recognition and appreciation are built into the company’s culture. Whether it’s a shoutout during team meetings, or gift cards large and small, it’s clear that hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

Overall, ABC is a fantastic place to work and in no way average. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, growth-oriented, and positive work environment.

While I’ve had a largely positive experience working at ABC, there are a few areas where the company could improve to better support its employees and enhance productivity.

1. PTO Policy: While the current Paid Time Off (PTO) policy is appreciated, it could be more competitive compared to industry standards. Offering additional PTO days or more flexible options for employees to recharge could go a long way in enhancing employee well-being and retention. In today's competitive job market, an improved PTO policy could help the company stand out and attract top talent.

2. Equipment Upgrades: The technology we use is essential to our daily productivity. Currently, some of the equipment, such as laptops and tablets, feels a bit outdated or underpowered. Investing in more efficient and modern devices would not only make tasks smoother and faster but also show that the company values its employees’ efficiency and overall work experience.

3. Cross-Department Communication and Collaboration: While communication within teams is generally strong, there could be more effort toward fostering cross-departmental collaboration. Encouraging regular inter-departmental meetings or collaborative projects could improve workflow, reduce silos, and create more alignment toward company goals. A more streamlined process for cross-team communication would enable quicker decision-making and foster a more cohesive company culture.

Overall, these improvements would contribute significantly to making ABC an even better place to work, helping employees feel supported and empowered in their roles.

Working here was only positive for me because of the people who I worked with at my location and the kids we worked with. Most of us at the tech level became close in our shared frustration with the job. 
The upper level management does nothing to promote employee satisfaction or stop turnover. In response to the high turnover, they pour their money into hiring ($2000 sign on bonus to RBTs) and training. And then when you are hired they promise you raises based on performance as well as higher pay for a degree and your licensure. However, in most cases of myself and people I know, they give less of a raise than advertised and then completely withhold raises at other times. It was stated matter of fact to a friend of mine that they put a hold on raises. Some people worked there 5+ years and were getting paid less or the same as those there for 1 year. They also continuously overload everyone with more kids at each center which leads to improper therapist to patient ratios. Kids don't get the 1 on 1 therapy they are paying for because there are too many kids for everyone to be 1 on 1.  And the Masters level program coordinators are also overloaded and have no time to provide the supervision needed for techs to advance in their training level and get raises. 
The management also acts very unethically such as the time they kept a center open and running while the plumbing didn't work for 4+ hours. Techs had to resort to unsanitary methods to let the kids use the bathrooms including using the pool's recently shocked water to "flush" the toilets. They were told the kids would be sent home before management decided not to because it would be "hard on the parents." 
ABC does not care about their kids or employees....only their bottom line. Good place to get experience if you really want to work with this population because they will hire almost anyone with a clean background, but plan on moving to a better place as soon as you can.

I  fell in love with ABC when I  first began working there. I  loved the atmosphere, my coworkers, the clients, the team leaders, and everything about it. Slowly over the course of many years of working there, I began to dislike everything. The buildings weren't kept clean because they hardly had any cleaning crews, the people they began to hire were sloppy and could careless about the clients with no real training, no over time pay, full time hours are considered 37.5 hours a week, hardly any breaks unless you fought for one, they didn't buy supplies or the kids or the technicians, broken toys and materials everywhere, toilets that didn't work, if you requested time off they would wait as long as possible to approve it or deny it for stupid reasons, they catered to parents needs for baby sitting services way more than providing the needed and clinically recommended services, never followed through on the raises they promised, you only received one "flex" (paid) day off every three months and one unpaid day and they made you use your paid days first, and the list could go on and on. It was hard and very sad for me to leave, but after many years I finally realized that ABC would never change their ways and cared more about money than quality. I  will say a benefit is that there is room to move up in the company and that they try to keep that a positive experience but from what I  have been told it isn't. 

I went into this center with an open mind. They have the potential to be a great company. They don't seem to have a client first mentality, and they are driven by money. This is extremely evident when you become aware that they are trying to continue to expand when their center is semi-run with splotchy paint and cabinets without doors. They have racist undertones by using unnecessary descriptors when describing clients, parents, and fellow employees. Descriptors that were used included but is not limited to "little mexican girl", "two black boys", "the Haitian one"....ect. They have unethical practices such as their clock in and out procedures. They say you are required to report to work at 8:30 but you dont officially clock in or out, your punch time is dictated by when you started your therapy. same with your clock out time, so if your client shows up late and leaves on time but you have to finish your note, you're technically working off the clock. They also had me working with clients without a background check, which is illegal and unethical. They didn't seem to keep client dignity and respect as a priority, there was a client who's therapist wouldn't interact with them for hours until they manded appropriately. that same therapist, as well as others across the center sat on their phones for a majority of their therapy sessions. there were no standards to maintain, and if there were, they werent enforced. If you are new to ABA, I would go somewhere else to learn how to provide therapy in this field

The pay is what drew me to this job, it’s decent compensation for RBTs, but just know whatever rate you’re hired on at probably won’t change for years. You’ll never get a break. No lunch break, you have to eat with your client, and forget about ever getting a 15 minute break to de-stress. You can only expect a break IF your client has OT and then that’s only once a week, and you’re expected to do whatever your boss needs done before taking time for yourself. The only reason I stay is for my client, I love the other therapists but management is NOT good. Too many times have people left for maternity leave or leave for a surgery/health reasons and immediately been replaced with someone who doesn’t know they won’t have a job in six weeks when their client’s original therapist comes back. The BCBAs are spread too thin between clients and supervision students. The management definitely has favorites and if you’re not one of the chosen few, just know one of the more popular therapists can request to be moved to your client and you can be taken away from them with no notice. The time off is horrible, don’t expect a day off for at least a year. If you’re not working toward becoming a BCBA, they don’t care about you. HR, yes you Rich, is a complete mess. He’ll completely disregard emails you send him and try to place the blame on other people within management. Don’t expect a nice place to work, they won’t spend any of their millions on making the centers better looking, safer, and more well stocked, only on their owner and upper management. Do not recommended! 

Applied Behavior Center for Autism is a mission-driven organization dedicated to providing high-quality, ethical services to children and families. We value collaboration, professionalism, and continuous improvement, and we are committed to supporting our employees through training, supervision, and opportunities for growth.

Our team works together in a supportive environment that prioritizes clinical excellence, respect, and work-life balance. Employees are encouraged to share ideas, develop their skills, and grow within the organization while making a meaningful impact in the lives of the individuals we serve.

The management is garbage. It is VERY obvious the company does not care about the maintenance of facilities. The walls are dirty and have painting missing on parts. The carpet is disgusting, the toys are broken and infrequently replenished. Employees have offered their own time and energy to be put into cleaning the facility and it has been denied but with no substitution in place. The company pays higher and offers sign on bonuses because they know money will keep people but honestly even that isn't enough. Employee turnover rates are high and it is of no mystery as to why. Uniforms are required and are ridiculously outdated and too strict for working in a clinic for CHILDREN. The management doesn't seem to care about the buildings' appearance so neither do the employees which makes it extremely difficult to keep the morale high because honestly who wants to work in a trashed looking facility? During COVID-19 the policies in place have not been followed through with, and some are absurd (i.e. four week notice before requesting one day off??) It is embarrassing to say I work at the clinic that I do and when someone asks me where I work I simply describe how I work with children, I do not share this horrid company name.

I genuinely enjoy my role and the opportunity to work alongside such dedicated colleagues. I look forward to coming to work each day, meeting prospective candidates, and helping identify talented individuals to join our team. I also value the relationships I build with our current employees and take pride in supporting them throughout their employment journey. Contributing to the growth and success of both our employees and the organization makes my work highly rewarding.
My colleagues play a significant role in making each day both enjoyable and rewarding. I value the opportunity to learn and grow professionally every day through the experiences and challenges my role provides. I am especially fortunate to work with two exceptional HR Associates and an outstanding HR Director whose leadership, expertise, and support contribute to a collaborative and positive work environment. Their commitment to excellence inspires me to continuously develop my skills and contribute to the success of our team and organization.

I’ve worked here for many years. I loved the the kids and the rbt staff. The branch manager is very moody somedays. I thought we were best friends somedays and other days I had to tip toe around her moods. The head PC will knit pick at the smallest things and at times that was very annoying. ABC doesn’t care if your a good therapist they just want anyone with a pulse willing to work there. ABC does not reward you for your loyalty to the company at all. I worked there for 5 years gave my heart to this company and yet I’m the lowest paid employee here. They bring high school kids with no degree, no experience, give them a sign on bonus, and higher pay than good staff who have been there for years. Talk about a slap in the face. There benefits are horrible! It’s really sad I’ve seen it from my wife’s side and my side they’ll take your kindness for a weakness. I enjoyed my time here because of the kids and rbt staff. The management staff just does not care about you what so ever.
