● Work-life balance
I only worked part time but I found them to be very accommodating to let me select the nights I wanted to work. When they asked me to take on another client and up my hours they were very understanding when I said no due to already having a full time job and was afraid of taking on too much.

● Pay & benefits
I did not get benefits as I was part time but I did still accrue sick time. So eventually I got enougn to cover the occasional shift if needed.

● Job security and advancement
Training was great and while it was part time I still felt like my supervisors were invested in making sure I got the information and training I wanted from the company and job. There are definitely options for advancement and exciting opportunities. I only left because I moved out of state but otherwise would have stayed for the foreseeable future !

● Management
Excellent management!

● Culture
I worked part time doing in home services so can not speak to the culture at the clinic itself. Sometimes it's hard to feel part of the company when youre essentially working alone (except for the BCBA session overlaps) but they did try to make us feel included the best they could!

● Overall
This company is great to work for. I felt valued and appreciated and loved working there. They were flexible with my schedule since I was hired part time.  The company offered great training and my supervisors always provided useful feedback during supervision sessions. I really enjoyed my time with Proven and can't recommend it enough!  I only left because I moved out of state!

Proven provides support for those who need it, as well as opportunities for professional growth (continuous Saturday trainings, BCBA workshops, CEU events for BCBA's, professional development department, etc.) That said, there are also a lot of (not billable) responsibilities outside of your clinical work that may be unexpected, like lots of meetings, trainings, workshops, updates to client forms/binders, team leader responsibilities, center bcba responsibilities, presentations, etc. All of these things might be fine if the pay reflected the amount of work required of staff, but unfortunately, that is not the case. 

Because of all of the clinical and non-clinical requirements, as well as long days/rarely any afternoons or nights off, all of the drive time that isn't reimbursed, and the low salary, it's very easy to feel burnt out. 

Not to mention, the nature of the work we do already has a relatively high chance for burnout. Of course it's a fun job and so rewarding when our clients make progress, no matter how small, but it can also be very challenging.

All in all, Proven is a good company and they definitely care about their clients. If you're a workaholic, then this is probably a good fit for you. If you want a healthy work/life balance, maybe look around a little before deciding. There are so many different kinds of ABA companies and you never know what you're going to get. Proven is certainly not the worst one out there by far, but they also should be paying their employees more fairly. 

I strongly advise against working for this company. The work culture is unprofessional and resembles a high school environment, with frequent gossip about staff and clients. If a BCBA dislikes you, they may remove you from cases, and favoritism among leadership is evident.

Despite working  full-time hours, the company fails to provide full-time benefits, such as healthcare, vacation time, or sufficient sick time for part-time employees—even those consistently working 40 hours per week. The promise of support in obtaining RBT certification is misleading, as emails for follow-up go unanswered.

Leadership, including team leaders and directors, is unresponsive and unhelpful. Annual evaluations for raises are delayed with excuses, and concerns brought to team leaders are often ignored or dismissed.

At the Stoughton location, staff are required to handle waste in ways that are unsanitary and inappropriate, such as transporting soiled items from bathrooms to dumpsters by hand or even in personal vehicles. Refusal to comply may result in disciplinary action.

The lack of professionalism, support, and respect for employees creates a toxic work environment that outweighs any potential benefits. I cannot recommend this workplace.

Proven Behavior Solutions has been one of my favorite employers so far.  My onboarding and training was quick and efficient.  I was quickly welcomed to the team by BCBAs and BTs, as well as our interim and permanent center directors.  Through all my time here, I have had great support from my clinical BCBAs.  When I had difficult cases, my team leader was quick to assist and offer solutions.  I've worked in multiple Proven centers and really like that West Bridgewater offers an outdoor playground for the children.  My experience with monthly and annual reviews with my supervisor has been really good.  Proven asks BCBA supervisors to send out annual reviews to us before our official meeting which is nice because we have the chance to read over it beforehand and figure out any questions we have.  

My only criticisms would be around PTO/sick time.  Working with children is hard and often involves a lot of shared germs. I hope Proven will change their sick leave to be more than 40 hours per year.  It seems like BTs run out of time, come to work sick, and give illnesses to the next person who might also not have sick time.  I also think more PTO would be beneficial for preventing burnout among staff.   Proven offers a very generous maternity leave for full time staff (6 months), but regular time off is a bit lacking in my opinion.

Overall, I think this is a great place to work- especially for senior clinicians. Work–life balance and flexibility really depend on your role, and it tends to be more flexible for senior clinicians than for direct care staff, which makes sense given the nature of each position. There is room for growth. The company started small and has expanded over the past few years. Like any growing organization, there have been some growing pains, but things feel like they’re starting to level out. If you’re someone who adapts well to change, you’ll do just fine here. 

The benefits package varies depending on what you value. Some benefits are excellent, while the medical insurance is on the expensive side with limited plan options, in my opinion. Other perks are great but may not apply to everyone, so it’s worth asking questions and determining what aligns best with your needs.

What stands out most is the emphasis on collaboration. We truly value having team members who care, who are passionate about what they do, and who are here for the right reasons. It's important that people joining our team care about collaboration with other disciplines because ultimately that is how we best support the children and families! BCBAs, OTs & SLPs collaborate on a daily basis! 

The clients and your fellow colleagues are amazing. Proven does a good job with collaboration and there is always someone to bounce ideas off of. 

Unfortunately the communication in proven is a huge deficit. The company is getting bigger which is good, but with that comes disorganization from upper management who are not always receptive to feedback. BCBA's often have to do jobs outside of their job role such as deal with situations that should come from the scheduling department or HR. The BCBA's are micromanaged and sometimes do not have the freedom to make decisions for their own clients. Feedback is inconsistent across different directors making it hard to know what feedback to follow. The BCBA's are overworked with the billable hours and tasks outside of billable hours they are responsible for that were not made clear in the hiring process. Training is lacking. They claim they are a hands off company, but they take kids with behaviors that require hands on intervention (which they do not provide a safety training for staff) . I did not have the best experience working here aside from my clients, clients families and coworkers. 

I have been employed by Proven Behavior Solutions for over a year. I have worked for many companies and have not had the support nor the team that the West Bridgewater center radiates. The BCBA’s on my cases are helpful and knowledgeable. The Center Coordinator smiles, is very happy, and takes care of the staff every day. Whomever is on that day for BCBA support is usually good, it depends on who it is. The BT’s are always willing to lend a hand  and offer support with my clients. Our DCO is always present and gives us the support we need and has been holding a walkie which has been nice to see a director help out like that. Her door is always open and has answered my questions in a timely manner.  West Bridgwater center is a happy place to work. I feel very supported and don’t mind getting up and going to work. 
I hope that you are lucky enough to send your child or become employed by Proven. They are a great company to work for. The outdoor space and the love from the staff to the clients in WB is unmatched. Our DCO and the coordinator make sure the clients and staff feel the appreciation and have support which in return makes work enjoyable. (Who knew work could be enjoyable!) 

I've been at Proven for just under a year, and I'm really enjoying it here. Knowing that we're all here to help these precious children and we get to see their progress day in and day out gives a great sense of fulfillment. My coworkers are great; very helpful and supportive of each other. I've learned so much about ABA therapy and it's benefits. 
My favorite part of the job is interacting with the children and families. I get to offer support, encouragement, and create a friendly and welcoming environment for our parents and caregivers. In addition, I work with billing, inventory and ordering, attendance tracking, and lots more. No two days are exactly the same.
Proven pays a fair wage and offers good benefits.
It is work - so as with any job, there are great days and challenging days; but at the end of the day, knowing we're all working to help these amazing children reach their full potential, you can't help but want to come back the next day and give it your all again. 

Beneficial to full timers, not very beneficial if you want to work part-time and or have other career goals and opportunities outside of behavioral health and even if your goals are aligned with behavioral health, in my experience, you don't get too much out of it. If you're a person who likes to work as a team, I would think long and hard about this company, in my personal experience it's a lot of independent work and for the most part your alone and more like you're told what to do. Personally I like to be involved and value collaboration and communication with members of the team as well as with the family and you're not really allowed that; could be due to liability reasons, but if your similar to me in that aspect, this may not be the place for you. From the little interactions I do have, The company has a diverse and inclusive clientele with limited diversity and representation in staff (BIPOC).  The only thing I really liked was engaging with the children. I will say that the work is very self-fulling, seeing clients grow and learn. 

I thoroughly enjoy my job. However, we are only given 5 sick days and 2 weeks vacation. The children come in sick quite often and the staff end up catching it. Many times we have to use unpaid time when we become sick because the 5 days is not enough . There is high staff turn over which could possibly be avoided if BT’s were started off at a higher rate and required to have a RBT certification. But the lack of sick time, no personal days and only 2 weeks vacation time is a big issue.  I think more focus on increasing the requirements for the BT position and better benefits would help with staff retention and also having paid lunch breaks. It is a very stressful job and that could be a nice perk.
