Progressive Option Support Services

At the beginning, POSS was a good company to work for and the support felt much better. However, after the new clinical director took over, the environment became increasingly stressful and difficult. Many of the policies feel unreasonable and unfair to employees. For example, if a BT makes a mistake in their notes or if a parent signature is missing, BCBAs may not get compensated for work they already completed. I am still owed money that I honestly do not believe I will ever receive back. The payment practices feel very shady and potentially against labor laws, but they claimed it has nothing to do with them, it’s insurance’s policy. 

The assessment process is also one of the most stressful experiences I have had working in ABA. I have worked for several other agencies, and none of them were nearly as overly picky or demanding with reassessment drafts. Be prepared to revise reports 5+ times over very minor details, which creates unnecessary stress and delays.

Another major issue is staffing instability. Case hours are inconsistent, and when a BT leaves, it can take over two months to find a replacement, leaving families without proper continuity of care and BCBAs constantly dealing with scheduling issues and unhappy parents.

The only positive aspect is that some coworkers and families were pleasant to work with, but overall management practices and compensation policies made the experience disappointing.

Working as a Behavior Technician provided meaningful, hands-on experience implementing behavior intervention plans and working directly with clients and families. The role allowed me to build practical ABA skills, strengthen data collection abilities, and develop rapport with clients in a supportive learning environment.
However, scheduling and case consistency could be challenging at times. Hours were dependent on client availability, and cancellations or changes sometimes impacted weekly consistency. Communication regarding scheduling and updates could be improved to provide clearer expectations for staff. 
Overall, the position offers valuable experience for those entering the ABA field, but individuals seeking guaranteed or highly consistent hours may want to clarify scheduling expectations beforehand.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay rate was  decent and the BacabA were nice. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part working with this company was not  compensated for time lost, for example with client canceled  or fewer hours than scheduled we don't get paid, client living situation not being told to self prepare, no parking, no supplies for to work. BT  most use personal devices and not being reimbursed for materials. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Demanding your are expected to make the impossible possible and BT cost.  For example I had a client assigned and I could not find parking I was in the area 45 minutes prior to my start  time . I couldn't do the service it was risking getting my car towed. I was terminated do to this issue.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Extremely Complicated and Difficult because BT is to solve problems or get terminated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Paid trainings and meetings is good. It motivates employees to attend because their time is getting paid which is good. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s not that bad but if I will name one then it could be the Hi Rasmus program they use to collect data. You have to finish it during your session and won’t be able to go back in when you have missed anything or there’s an error. You also have to write long summary of the session. It’s the time pressure.  And lastly, clients cancellation of session. You won’t get paid even if there’s an announced or unannounced cancellation of session from the client. There are some clients who does not value others’time.  The company should pay the therapist. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
it’s cool and you won’t have to deal with so many fake people. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s a remote job so it’s good.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The is a good place to work. I just wish they offered a transportation or gas stipend like most companies do. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Uncooperative parents. Parents need to be more active in the session and help with redirection. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The staff is very friendly and caring. If you have any issues they address then them. They have weekly meeting to discuss any issues you may be having and come up with the best solutions.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day consist of me getting to my clients home, setting up the materials that I will be using and running the program to gwt as much information for the assessment as possible.

Working remotely has been a game changer for my mental health and my work-life balance. With that out of the way, there are so many things that need to be addressed at POSS. It feels like management is running around reacting to issues instead of being proactive and planning ahead. Not much training is provided before you start but you are expected to 100% run independently and remotely. BTs are hit or miss, some are ethical, some wont even show up to their first day. This carries over to the hours you spend working with clients and affects your paycheck. I think it's a good side job but not your main job. 

Pay is great but sometimes you’re left without a case for a minute and have to wait until they find another one for you. (Inconsistent pay) However, you do get some nice benefits like paid time off and monthly paid team meetings.

BCBA’s are a mess! Sometimes they just stare everywhere else instead of supervising you. I have had to call my BCBA’s names multiple times to ask her where she has been and I have to go out of my way to ask questions. Some BCBA’s are good, most are terrible and just consider this an extra way to get money but barely paying attention and offering help. Really big con to this job, but good for temporary work.

A typical day at work is implementing the tasks assigned by the BCBA in order to help the client attain the goal that is set.

I learned so much, from the terminologies to actually putting the terminologies into practice.
Hardest part of the job is not knowing what day you will have because you don't know what kind of day your client is having.  Everyday is a challenge.

The challenging day can also be the most enjoyable part of the job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company offers great flexibility and support in helping you make a difference in the life of others 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is very inclusive and supportive 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work with families to assist them in supporting their special needs family member

People first company, Well organized, Supportive staffs are very friendly and helpful. I started as a RBT and they provided supervision. I am now working full-time as a BCBA with the company. I learned a lot on how to prepare my treatment plans and programs and develop skills that help me move forward in my career.
