Know-Boundaries

A few years ago, this company wasn't bad. But with shifting management and new scheduling, it's atrocious. There are hardly benefits, and those that there are aren't good. Many BCBAs are not held to regular standards, so RBTs are frequently on their own. EVERYTHING is disorganized. The pay is below average, and there are no paid sick days or little to no PTO in general. Not all standards are held to, especially those including ethical and BACB standards. Communication with scheduling (and sometimes certain BCBAs) is one of the worst parts. If you have a suggestion or a concern for someone, such as scheduling, you're better off being listened to by a door. The only thing keeping RBTs here is some of the other RBTs who are good at their job and reliable. Other than that, stay far, far away.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you want a lot of free time, this is the place to be. In six months I only worked two weeks due to their poor management and scheduling 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not getting hours after begging for them, and not being communicated with when a client is removed from your caseload

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Minimal at best, if you are not in the clinic, be ready to initiate all conversations and ask and ask again for just about anything you need 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sitting at home since they allow clients to cancel sessions for weeks at a time and provide no way to make up the hours besides driving over two hours away to cover a shift IF someone else calls out

I am giving this company such a low rating because they lack structure. You have the ability to be flexible with your schedule but get ready for limited training and direction. They also only pay for scheduled hours, not a dime over, even if you stay longer due to a need. Though, they expect you to arrive on time and include time for parking, setting up your computer etc.  and somehow document everything by the end of your set time period. The software they use is fairly slow and means that I can’t  always document info before my shift ends and sometimes have to log details at home (time that you will never get paid for). 

I enjoyed my work with the client (child) and I had the luck of being assigned to work under a wonderful BCBA. I worked in home and was never in the clinic. Due to this, I never met anyone in the company in person. If I hadn't had a teaching background with a lot of certifications and knowledge about autism and how to work with children, I would have been lost. I was told to buy my own toys/tools for using during sessions. The people in scheduling were nice and understanding when I had to reschedule but the pressure to make up hours even on weekends and holidays was a lot. 

I loved this place in the beginning but it got bad fast. Communication was poor and there were little to no incentives and what was offered was nearly impossible to get like full time benefits only if you meet 30 hours weekly consistently for several weeks but clients would cancel and at no fault of your own you lost hours and didn’t have replacement hours. Getting my monthly 5% supervision was hard to come by. 

Most enjoyable part working here as an RBT are my colleagues who are very supportive and understanding, if you ever need help they are available. 

Worst part is not being compensated enough or having benefits. Being in the field of ABA is already hard enough, and I think that the company should give more incentives to employees to increase productivity and satisfaction. 

The company has really made an improvement in me loving the field of ABA. They offer a great practicum program for people that want a future in this field. They care about staff and clients, and work on finding a great solution to hours. The staff are always there to lend a hand and can easily answer your questions. This company welcomed me and taught me the skills I needed to improve. 

Management talk about children when they aren't present.  No structured plan and the work environment is extremely toxic. Would not recommend for anyone who is looking for an actual career.  If you a terminated they give the answer "under Tennessee law we don't have to tell you why you're terminated".

As a student with no experience, Know Boundaries took me on and paid for my RBT certification. Great place to work starting out but lower wages and benefits compared to other existing agencies in the area. Offers in clinic, at home, or in school services. I worked in schools and really enjoy my time in that setting with my kiddos.

Underpaid. Lack of communication. They pretty much just throw you out to the wolves, and you’re basically teaching yourself what to do. Everything they tell you in the interview turns out to be a lie. I had bad mental breakdowns because of this job. Please find another company. ANYONE is better than here.
