Pediatrics Plus

I have worked at pediatrics plus for 7 years and have been so thankful for all they have poured into me as a therapist. They have a great structure where at the bigger locations team leaders of each discipline are always available  to help answer any questions and give you a lot of support during the onboarding process. The directors have an open door policy and are able to answer and help problem solve more challenging situations. Throughout my time as a therapist I have had so much flexibility to the point my friends/family  tell me that it’s not realistic how flexible my job is to other jobs. I get to make my own schedule and choose how many hours I want to work. So it’s really not a one size fits all program and so far it has been able to walk me through different stages of life. It also was extremely reliable as a new grad just starting off. If attendance was low or me or my kids got sick a lot, my pay never changed and I was able to make up the hours later in the week or on another week. I am not micromanaged and really can have as much time off as I have ever wanted as long as I meet my hours, and I have never been in a deficit of hours. Each year I take two weeks off at Christmas, a week at thanksgiving and at least a week or two in the summer/throughout the year. I have looked at other companies as I have lots of connections in the therapy field to be sure I was getting the best I can and others have just never compared. I have been supported and encouraged to grow by getting offered 1x1 mentoring when I seeked it for challenging kids, when I have asked to go to a specific CEU they sent me to gain the knowledge, I have gone on a medical mission trip, and I have been able to return the favor with mentoring, and taking students. My teammates feel like a community and a positive work culture is highly valued I never hear about “drama” between co-workers, at times I have had co-workers that are unsatisfied with their job and have created a negative environment, which most people tell them to go talk the team lead or director. Anytime I have had an issue or disagreement I felt heard and was given more clarity and understanding of why things work this way or that it’s already on their radar to be resolved or changed and asked me about other ideas I had. The families I have worked with Have also been a huge part of my job satisfaction. I feel as this job will walk me through life as I have seen other therapist take on different roles and projects as their career develops. 

This company is great, they initially had a wonderful, family culture when I started. In recent months, new members have come into the company and the old management pushed out, leaving the employees in the hands of individuals who have no care for us.

Multiple meetings with management resulted in lies being told of me. When expressing truth, more lies were used to cover up the mistakes of others in admin. The Frisco location has no care for it's employees, however whenever the owners visit, it is great.

Supervisors offer no support, when addressing why something is being done incorrectly, they OPENLY lie, and say that support is constantly present. Be prepared to see eyes rolled at you, and looks exchanged in front of you whenever you ask a question. As soon as they go into an office, supervisors are consistently overheard speaking poorly about RBT's without offering support or solutions to them.

Feels like high school.

Other therapists there are great, and as supportive as they can possibly be. The teachers are all incredibly sweet and have their students best interest at heart. Extremely friendly!

The owners of this company, as well as other individuals from other locations, have been great, they are amazing and incredibly caring of your own self and well-being. They truly care for the clients there and the employees, ensuring we are at our best to do our best for the clients. The only reason for staying as long as I did was because of them and how warm and welcoming they are, whenever they were present I felt like a part of a great work family.

The ABA team in Frisco is not a great work environment, will cause a loss in any passion for ABA. BCBA's and admin are a dangerous and saddening aspect of the company, and have completely destroyed the integrity and culture of the company. 

Be cautious, do not trust the admin in Frisco location because any concerns and complaints will be flipped around and blamed on you.

In my opinion and personal experience, Pediatrics Plus in Alma is not a place you want to work at. Administration is not supportive and will basically tell you to just deal with things that they can easily solve or at least help with- in and out of the classroom. They will talk about employees to each other out in the open, and will even talk to other employees about you that are not admin. They will tell an employee one thing and another the opposite, but will blame everyone else for there being drama as if they’re not a part of it. Coworkers will also spend their time being in everyone’s business instead of interacting and supporting the kids. If you tell anyone anything, it will be known throughout the entire building by the end of the day, and there will be about 3-5 different versions of it. They will claim you’re friends and/or like a family there, but will act the opposite as soon as you leave the room. It is the worst environment of “still in high school” I’ve ever experienced.

The kids are the best part of working there. I loved being able to feel like I could help really difficult kids improve with their education and their behaviors, but somewhere along the way that got lost. You’re told in the job description that you’ll be working with really difficult kids- kids with learning, mental, and/or physical disabilities, and that you’re there to help them any way you can. In reality, you’re again told to just deal with behaviors that are easily able to be helped and/or tweaked to outlet their emotions in a more healthy way. You can give everything and try everything you can think of to help these kids, but at the end of the day you’ll be blamed if a kid acts a certain way. You’ll tell yourself that you won’t let admin’s lack of support get to you and keep pushing through, but it will wear you down until you break. It is not the kids or their behaviors- it’s admin and their lack of support with the behaviors. 


This company does not properly compensate therapists for their work. If you choose an 18 hour minimum, they expect 30 hours of work from you each week, however, you will be paid for 18. The only time you’re paid for is direct treatment time. When recruiting, they present the job as salary and tout flexibility. However, you are paid hourly even though they will not call it that.  You will be assigned very detailed evaluation reports and be required to do all scheduling, scoring, and write ups without compensation. If the school is closed for snow days or transition days between semesters, you will still be responsible for the hours you were to treat that day. You will either lose bonus, go into a deficit and owe money, or lose time off. If you are exposed to COVID on the job, you are required to take unpaid time or be held responsible for your weekly minimum during your quarantine. You are also required to do frequent one on ones, but if you communicate honestly, you will be labeled as “negative.” The administration is not willing to negotiate, collaborate, or make changes for improvement. In Sherwood, part time is not an option for therapists, although they don’t make that clear during hiring. The waitlist for families is currently months long because of the high therapist turnover rate. New graduates, beware, you will be responsible for high hours upon hire. Due to COVID protocols, you will likely share a treatment space with other new grads and lack the mentorship you are promised when interviewing. If you take on additional responsibilities for the company, such as supervising a COTA or working in a specialty classroom, no additional pay is offered. The bottom line is this company’s number one priority is money. 

In the beginning, I had a positive experience while being introduced to the organization and during the training process. 

I met mostly caring and competent staff who truly care about helping the students.

After working a few weeks, things became increasingly boring, and it was clear that favoritism has a lot of influence on how things are done in the center. Some staff seemed busy and focused on work through the day while others do basically nothing all day. I was asked to do tasks which had nothing to do with my title or job description.

Comes across as a company that wants to jump on the ABA gravy train without taking the steps to assure ABA is applied with quality. 

Within the first month, I witnessed a significant number of staff including the ABA team and other specialty therapists leaving the company. Red flags everywhere if you can't keep your therapy supervisors. Seems to have a high turn over, and many of the employees seemed unhappy. One commented there was "a list of reasons" why she was leaving.

A strange morale among the staff - it appeared that everyone was afraid to speak of any issues. Many of the staff will work 9 or 10 hours a day. 

I agree with a previous review that the company culture comes off as fake. Training videos used had no references to research and gave very limited scope view of how to apply ABA. 

It was a total waste of time for me. They had me wait a whole month before starting, and then considered me still in training for weeks and gave me no clients to work with. I was told this is due to not being able to bill services yet. This is only going to continue to come up as you expand ABA services.

To top it off, I was fired after a month and was given no reason whatsoever. 

Totally uninformed "ABA" program with no legitimate clinical oversight.

Working at Peds Plus has been such a unique and rewarding experience overall. The farm setting creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere that truly feels comforting and different from a typical workplace. Being able to work alongside the animals brings so much joy to the day-to-day environment, and I love having opportunities to be creative in my role.

One of the strongest parts of this company is the leadership. My Senior Director is truly top-notch. She leads with care, professionalism, and compassion, and consistently works hard to make sure employees feel supported, valued, and successful in the workplace. I also greatly appreciate our Regional Director. Both leaders are very hands-on and maintain an open-door policy, which makes it easy to communicate concerns or ask for guidance when needed.

The work-life balance here is honestly very good. While there are occasional responsibilities that extend outside of regular working hours, the company genuinely encourages employees to prioritize their families and personal lives. The flexibility within the work environment is something I deeply appreciate.

The pay could always improve, but considering the workload and expectations of the role, it feels relatively fair and comparable. My biggest downside would be the medical insurance policy offered, as I do wish the coverage and benefits were stronger.

Overall, I am very happy at Peds Plus. I appreciate the administration team, supportive leadership, flexible work atmosphere, and the opportunities for growth within the company. It is a place where I feel supported, encouraged, and able to grow both personally and professionally.

I absolutely love working for Pediatrics Plus in Russellville. There is an incredible atmosphere of collaboration and positivity - everyone is truly here to work together in order to achieve the best outcomes for each and every child. As a speech therapist, I have learned so much from not only coworkers in my own field, but those in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and many others. The flexibility within my schedule is wonderful and allows for time off when needed as well as the occasional free Fridays. As long as you are aware of the expectations of the job when you start, you will be okay. I am very supported by management and administration, and I love that the company is very forward-thinking. I do want to point out that this is being written from the perspective of a therapist - I am not a teacher, and I do believe they have the hardest job in the building. Compensation for their jobs (and for therapists as well) could be improved slightly, though I feel my pay is fair for my experience level and when I consider the fact that I don't have to worry about billing/liability insurance/etc. We also receive frequent continuing education opportunities for free or at least for a discounted price. I would highly recommend working at Pediatrics Plus in Russellville - few places demonstrate this level of excellence in care alongside an amazing environment of humility, teamwork, and genuine love for families!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The on-site admin team is flexible, supportive, and genuinely wants to see you succeed. The entire team is always willing to lend a hand. You never feel like you're on your own, even when there are more challenging moments or days. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Keeping up with session documentation can be a challenge, and makes you feel like your attention has to be split between your client and paperwork. But a bit of preparation and creating templates for yourself goes a long way. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The on-site culture is, overall, very supportive and collaborative. There are clear leaders and seasoned techs you can turn to for help, but no overwhelming sense of hierarchy. There can be friction at times, like in any workplace, but nothing that can't be worked through or set aside once you leave the clinic.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Controlled chaos is how I would describe it. You can prep your session notes and program plans for each client ahead of time, but you never know what might happen in a session or if the schedule might switch up. Each day will have its balance of fun with clients, expected stress, and routine tasks.

I started working for this company in 2020 and worked there for over a year. This is a great place for people fresh out of high school or working on a degree in a related field but this is not the place to work if you want to make being an RBT a living. They do tell you when you start that you would get a raise after 60 days and again 90 days,  and yearly there after...this was a lie told to everyone.  If they tell you,  do not fall for it. You will be making 17-17.50 for a couple of years. 
They will continue to enroll kids without staff and coverage. The turn over rate is atrocious because they are not willing to pay their staff and they will not try to keep good people from leaving. They say they'll try but the answer is always no.  This year alone they have lost 3 bcbas and over 6 rbts. Mostly due to pay. There is a very fake atmosphere from upper management. They will smile in your face and of course behind closed doors, things are much different. If you work here, do it for the free certification and leave. 
My direct supervisor was admittedly a wonderful person and I do miss working under her. She was very understanding of personal problems (with documented proof) otherwise they hand out occurrences (points) like candy. 

Stay away from this company. Employees and children are mistreated every single day. Leadership only focuses on making money and hiring their friends and family members, and the children and employees suffer because of it. They will always sacrifice the daily needs of their clients to grow their own pocketbook. They will take advantage of their employees, they are “replaceable”. If you bring awareness to the unethical treatment of children, they make your job harder. If you want to do a good job for kids, this place will not allow you to do that. If you have a voice and want to make improvements in the treatment of children, you will be punished here. You run the risk of loosing your license here. If you’re the type of therapist who doesn’t care and just wants an easy paycheck, if you’re the type of therapist who would ignore children’s needs, then this is your place. The people who get promoted, the people who get pay raises, are the people who marry into the owners families, or who fall in line with the unethical treatment of children.
