I went into MeBe wanting to learn more about support youth on the spectrum and left with a whole lot of stress. 

Before even going into the field, they train you over zoom, which was convenient at the time, but didn’t fully ready me for the actual job. Post training, I did some shadowing sessions that did help get me more familiarized with how things go, and the people that helped me out really broke it down for me.

Once it came to the job, that’s when things started going downhill. The job itself felt isolating, as you were typically on your own. During my first month here, the supervisor that was assigned to my first case was laid off, so I hardly got any support. I had a great supervisor moving forward, but rarely did I get to interact with anyone, adding more into the isolating aspect of it.

When I would interact with other behavior technicians, there would be passive aggressive statements from folks who exuded this superiority complex. It felt like they would pass judgement on you for being new and not being just like them.

And the worst of it all is the physical, mental and emotional distress that the job brings you. Sometimes you’ll have kids that will attack you when you’re just minding your own business. Parents that blame us for regression without considering other factors affecting their kids. And last but not least, the inconsistency with schedule.

Clients can cancel on you a few hours before, and you aren’t compensated for the time that you lost unless you take on a substitute case, which doesn’t always happen. Being in this job added a lot financial stress, and I certainly would not go back into a field like this if it meant I could survive financially.

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at MeBe, a Behavioral Health Center! What truly stands out about MeBe is their commitment to high ethical standards. They prioritize the well-being and rights of both their employees and clients above all else. This creates a nurturing and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. 

What sets them apart is that they are family owned and operated, which brings a unique sense of dedication and passion to the center. The owners are incredibly hands-on, ensuring that every aspect of the center runs smoothly and that all individuals receive the highest quality care.

Being a part of MeBe has been truly rewarding, as I know that each and every day I am making a significant difference in the lives of many. It's a place where I can contribute positively to the community and witness the positive impact it has on individuals seeking help.

I was at my last job for 16 years and the only regret I have is wishing I would have joined MeBe sooner! I highly recommend them for their outstanding commitment to making a difference and their genuine dedication to the well-being of all who walk through their doors. 


I had the opportunity to work at the Spring location and while the RBTs and the clients were wonderful, the experience was severely impacted by poor management. The leadership at this location lacks the necessary skills to effectively manage and support their team. The management style is very passive-aggressive, with a tendency to treat employees as if they are naive or uninformed. Additionally, favoritism is a significant issue, and it’s very evident that not all staff are treated equally.

Communication from management was extremely poor. They claim to care about their staff and encourage us to voice our concerns, but in reality, it’s just for a show. When you do express concerns or share personal challenges, there's a noticeable lack of empathy or support, and you may even be labeled as problematic or unprofessional for speaking up.

The clients and day-to-day tasks were genuinely rewarding, but unfortunately, the negative aspects of management made the overall experience far less enjoyable. If you value strong leadership and fair treatment, this may not be the best place for you. Improved leadership would make a major difference for future employees at this location.

The kids are wonderful. The tough thing about ABA is that it is hard to maintain consistent hours which is especially problematic if you need full-time. Through getting to know more people, you have a better chance at picking up sub sessions to fill in gaps but it can be difficult to fill the hours if clients cancel. 

MeBe does have one of the few ABA learning centers in San Diego which I love. If you’re pursuing your BCBA it is a great work environment because it creates more opportunities for supervision and indirect hours. The staff are very kind, caring people but when you potentially have a different supervisor for every client, quality of leadership can be inconsistent. Unfortunately though, a lot of that is the nature of the beast with hourly schedules and ABA. 

Overall, with higher compensation for its employees and more consistent leadership, it could be a perfect place to work. It’s very much what you make of it and while it is possible to get more support from superior and administrative staff, it can be battle if you don’t know who to talk to.

This company is incredibly unorganized, attempting to make changes at last minute, continuously correcting technicians after other managers have already made corrections to lesson plans, and the BCBA supervisors are often late. It’s incredibly unfortunate because it’s imperative this work be completed for those who need it, but it’s difficult to do so when management is constantly late, they claim parents make complaints about lesson plans that were given to technicians, they expect you to drive to and from homes with little compensation, and you can’t get any hours. They wanted me to work two hours each day for two days of the week. Originally, I was told I’d be full-time, and I was working a total of four hours in two days. Also, they expect a lot from you with little-to-no time given. Supervisors are a hit-or-miss, and they don’t get back to you in a timely manner. I quit after three months. You’re also expected to cover all requirements (TB clearance, exam fee, etc.) for this company, which is absurd. This company is very unorganized and lackadaisical. I suggest looking for better ABA therapy companies if this is the field you’re interested in. 

A very sneaky company in all aspects. Lies about their pay (very sneaky about the pay being minimum wage unless you’re in clients home). Use your own transportation but if your car breaks down you’re screwed) 
they DO NOT care about you. This company is the definition of a cat fish company they make is sound soo nice at first but the more you’re in the company you realize how much of a hot mess it is. 
There’s a lot of requirements you need to pay for before starting like paying for a TB shot and a hepatitis one as well getting your certification you pay all this out of pocket. (It’s about $200) 
Also, if a client cancels after two hours they don’t care about your money so you won’t get paid, now you have a open schedule so your money is never  secure. 
Every Monday, they do orientation for about 12 new hires (so it’s easy “to get hired”) but the fourth day or training they get rid of about 10 people so their turnover is high.
The training process is sooo confusing and they are all over the place. One of my worst experiences. 
They except SOO much from you that doesn’t match the pay. 

The training at this company is horrible. I started with no experience in ABA and was given a case within a week with very little training. In addition, the company does not pay for most things during the onboarding process. I had to pay for my CPR certification, I was not paid for the time I watched the 40 hour RBT training, and I also had to pay for my TB test. The only thing they paid for was my live scan. The first Supervisor I had was M.I.A. most of the time. The owners do not come around either. The Director of Quality Assurance is the person who most everyone needs to check in with for an answer. It appears that this person is given a lot of power at this company.  This company requires you to give your clients your personal cellphone number too. My Supervisor would ask me to buy toys for my sessions, laminate cards, and I did a lot of work at home such as session notes and reading a lot of work emails during my off time. Evaluations are annually and the pay is not good. I took a risk and switched to another company and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! 

The first 90 days of your employment will be seemingly blissful, welcoming, and attentive to your needs. Once you are out of that window, and if you have any barriers to success, brace yourself for an immediate passive aggression, or worse, overt aggression from their leadership team. There is no real knowledge on how to expand their company appropriately, and unfortunately, from my understanding, their mismanagement has causes them some financial hardship. Knee jerk responses, and unrealistic expectations will be your new norm, and you will spend most of your time reevaluating your own professional growth, but in reality, you are just being gas lighted by underqualified professionals. I do assume work life might look differently among the individual sites, but believe me, if there is a decline in incoming clients, or a high ratio of discharge, the problem will be yours to absorb, and never theirs. It almost seems as if this company was started for "funzies" and not taken all that serious, which severely impacts employees who do take their roles serious.

MeBe takes a comprehensive approach to ABA therapy. I love the supervisors I work with and the clients are great. There is a BCBA candidate program to help guide and support the individuals who wish to have a career in ABA. The pay is the best I've seen as an RBT. In turn, the supervisors do a really good job of keeping the client's data book updated. The scheduling department utilizes block scheduling to keep your schedule as full as need be. Lastly, the culture is super inclusive. I'm really impressed. 
*** RBTs generally use play and reinforcement therapy to increase kids functional adaptive behaviors while reducing maladaptive behaviors. You will have some of the best days and greatest victories in your life. There will also be days that are filled with challenging and frustrating behaviors. It's worth every one of those challenging days to see your kiddo level up. It is the best. 

AOSC is a growing family owned company with an awesome work culture. ABA agencies typically tend to overlook employee needs, but AOSC not only has the best in mind for its clients, it also manages to be incredibly flexible and considerate of all staff. For example, AOSC attempts to regionalize clients in order to limit drive time to the best of their ability.

For employees who are interested in pursuing their career in the field, AOSC offers a multitude of opportunities to gain experience in leadership roles and offers a study group for anyone starting BCBA coursework or interested in learning more.  Its also a great place to accrue free supervision hours.

I've personally never worked for a better company and feel lucky to be  a part of it.
