Behavior-Nation

Do not waste your time with this company whether your someone seeking ABA therapy or a job. This company is an absolute mess. For starters they have over 200 clients and about 2 program managers and one supervisor. They'll basically hire anyone because they are constantly trying to find people to take there clients. There turn over rate is crazy high which makes sense due to how poorly run the facility is. 

If you have an issue with your commute between clients because its cutting into your break time, well thats too bad. Scheduling will simply blame you and wont adjust your schedule. You'll be lucky if you get at least 15 minutes to eat your lunch in the car let alone have a break at all.

If you're having problems with your client or have questions about running a program your program managers are so overworked that you'll be lucky to get a response or any sort of help. On top of that, they don't properly train PM's to do there jobs correctly so many of the clients don't have any real programs nor structural control. In order to become a program manager most companies provide 6 weeks of training, this company 3 provides shadow sessions.

Hope this is useful to anyone considering working for this company. Just don't. 

If I could give zero stars, I would. Behavior Nation is hands down the worst company I have ever worked for. Their complete lack of communication, support, and teamwork makes it impossible to succeed in this job. From day one, you’re thrown into an environment where you feel unvalued, overworked, and utterly alone.

Management only cares about billable hours—not their employees, not their clients, just the numbers. There is zero effort to foster a supportive work culture, and if you ever need help, good luck getting a response. Expect to be underpaid, overworked, and ignored while they continue to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of you without any appreciation.

The turnover rate is ridiculously high, and for good reason. Many employees leave feeling mentally drained, frustrated, and depressed. There is no sense of community or recognition for the hard work put in. Instead of prioritizing the well-being of their staff and clients, they operate like a soulless business machine.

If you care about your mental health and professional growth, do yourself a favor and stay far away from Behavior Nation. You deserve better!

Would you like me to tweak it further or add anything specific?

I worked at Behavior Nation for a while, and honestly, it was one of the worst experiences I've had. As a program manager, I was hired with minimal training—only 3 RBT trainings and 1 overlap session. After that, I was thrown into the field to figure things out on my own. I was often stuck in client sessions with no clear direction, and when I asked for help, I was told I should already know what to do. The management was rude, two-faced, and completely unhelpful. They only cared about billable hours, not the well-being of the children or their staff. The work culture was toxic, and it took a serious toll on my mental health. On top of that, the commute was awful, with clients scheduled in locations that weren't far apart, just so the company could save on mileage and drive time. The stress was so overwhelming that I would even dream about it! The only positive aspect was seeing client progress and the joy of parents when their child met a goal. Fortunately, I’ve moved on to a much better company now that values their employees and compensates them for their time. I’m so relieved to have left that toxic environment behind.

It first seemed too good to be true to have such a great schedule with supportive staff. Until a couple months later, my schedule hours kept fluctuating, there were no incentives for hard work, and the management showed how unprofessional they were regards to communication with their employees. I’ve enjoyed working with some of the program managers and clinical supervisors but this job did not make me feel some sort of satisfaction when I left. Also, they kept switching me around to different clients and reduced my hours without letting me know why despite my efforts of emailing them about that matter.   Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to say bye to any of my client’s families who were so nice and welcoming to me.  Anyway, other than that, all ABA companies aren’t always steady with scheduling because client’s can cancel  any time and you won’t be compensated for it. 

Don’t apply to this Company, you are just a body to them. I was hired and it took me over a month to start. But what they don’t tell you is that there is testing throughout training and if you don’t pass you are automatically let go. That’s what happened to me. And I was never contacted or pay for the time I spent to train. Also this was not stated in the contract either. You have to do finger printing and a physical through a third party company, and no you can’t use your own insurance oh and if you can’t pay the 115, you guessed it. You can’t work for them. There are better companies out there do your research. Run from behavior nation!! 

I have been with the company for 2 years and believe my managers always care about our feedback. From running programs to how to better implement strategies. It is amazing to see how just listening to your employees impact the results it has on work environment and the success for your clients. It's rewarding to work for a company that truly cares for its employees as well as its clients. Everyone has a voice in the company. Supervisors are always reachable and supportive and willing to provide extra training and resources where needed. 

The owners of the company will push you to burn out and not give you say over any of the cases you take. They ignore the ethical codes of managing supervisory volume and supervisory competence. There are not set systems in place and their rules and policies are never clear to employees. It is a company wide problem when all employees are confused. They don't follow reinforcement systems for employees and resort to punishment. Higher-up work culture can also be gossip-y about staff.

They would rather blame others than take responsibility for themselves. They never answered the phones for employees and clients. They would switch BT every two weeks or whenever the client seemed to be doing better. They lack empathy and only care about the money. 

Behavior Nation pays well but to compensate the overall lack of communication with scheduling which is huge at this job. Training is also done online with no BCAB member present to answer questions, then they throw you in there. Scheduling can also change at any moment.

The owner of the company only cares about money and the maximum number of hours they can bill for. They are in the business for the money not for the kids.
