The Oxford Center

Do not apply or work here. I am very serious as someone who genuinely enjoyed the job at first. When I first began at OFC it was my first experience as a behavior technician and working with kiddos with autism. At first everything was great and I was ride or die for this center everyday that I was there. Training was okay when I first began but financial compensation was awful ($15 an hour for any beginning employee) and they will say that they promise you full time only to drop you down to 15 hours. Pay raises are on a time basis so you will not see $19 an hour until you’ve worked there for 2 years. The work environment wasn’t actually bad and my coworkers were pretty friendly for the majority of my experience. Management on the other hand is a complete joke. They act like they care about your feedback, send it off to the CEO, and anything negative that you say is held against you and your hours. I.e. if you question malpractice, the CEO, go home sick, etc. they will slice your hours and place you on call for the next two weeks. Workplace retaliation is HUGE here. There is barely any help with no support or training and techs are forced to use unhealthy restraining techniques on children. 

Please do not work here.

Hey there ! So I have a few things to say about oxford recovery center. 
So I started at oxford September 2021, it was a new experience for me, and I can say it was a good one. 
Starting their getting the hang of things went faster then I thought, whenever I did need a question answered someone was always able to give that. The work environment is nice, the people are friendly and treat you as if you are family and are easy to get along with. 
Everyone was encouraging and high lifting during work giving positive feedback, their was never negativity during work. 
Oxford Is a very nice place with good people. 
Everyone throughout was very welcoming and friendly which makes work more comfortable as a whole. 
If I ever needed time off or was sick, they would always make things workout :) 
As a overall simple review before I write a book haha, Oxford is a great work place skilled or unskilled they can help teach you new things and will treat you like family. I would suggest it to other as a workplace they can go too. Hopefully if you read this you would join their family as well.
And lastly, thank you to HR for being their to answer my questions an even have good conversations with after work :) 

This center is only concerned about one thing, which is making the most money. They want as many clients as possible and will give you very minimal training. If you are new to ABA it will take you a very long time to learn anything. They give new employees very minimal training and then expect them to be outstanding at their position when they have never done ABA before. When employees don't do something right management gets extremely irritated. Technicians are constantly bouncing around to clients they don't usually work with and given no training on behavior protocols. When you ask for help usually help isn't available or supervisors seem "too busy" to help you. You will be extremely stressed out as well as emotionally, physically, and mentally drained working for this company. Management expects employees to be excellent at their job without giving them the guidance they need in this position. When COVID affected the lives of everyone they let go of all of the amazing employees who didn't want to work, which denied these employees unemployment. Letting remarkable employees go just so you can continue to make money is not how a business should be run. 
Nobody should want to work for a company like this.

While working at The Oxford Center I thought it was a little odd when I was only given one week of training (with no prior experience) and then given a client to work with. The other techs and most BCBA’s were very supportive when it came to questions and concerns but, when I reached out to a higher up with my bigger concerns about my safety and a clients safety, I was ignored. My experience with requested time off was that I was ignored and when I asked about it, they told me “I wouldn’t be able to know until the week of.” Super frustrating if you’re trying to plan anything. I also don’t believe the pay is fair for what you’re expected to do depending on the client you may get. There was no further training available also which made things difficult when being trusted with a client who you don’t have the knowledge on how to handle their dangerous behaviors. Overall, the clients are great, the technicians are great, most BCBA’s are great but, the people that run it all are not so great and don’t seem to care much about their biggest “money maker”. 

I worked at the oxford center for a little over 6 months from August 2021 to March 2022. The first few months were great, the behavior technicians, BCBAs, and therapists there are part of the reason it was so hard for me to leave on top of the amazing children and their families. However, I would not recommend anyone apply for a job here or send their child here. Management is not honest to the families or staff here. I was constantly watched, and had a higher up employee even walk me outside of the building to ask me why I put in my notice which came across in a very inappropriate, intimidating, and unprofessional manner. I’m all for exit interviews and I would’ve been more than honest to management about why I felt this company didn’t align with any of my core values but that did not happen for me. The building is beautiful, the work is rewarding and so much fun but at the end of the day the employees and families here are being misled. Please find work elsewhere, please find ABA elsewhere these kids deserve so much more. 

Many stops along my career path have prided themselves as a family, yet the culture was far from family-like.  Oxford Recovery Center truly is a family.  Not only does the leadership team and staff serve patients, they care and serve each other too.  Regardless of what is needed, everyone is willing to help. 

This is rewarding, but it pales in comparison to the rewards of seeing and hearing of patient successes.  In my role, I talk with numerous adult patients and a common theme is Oxford Recovery Center gave a patient hope when everyone said their situation was hopeless. This is usually followed by a statement of how treatment at Oxford Recovery Center helped them get back to the life they had before an illness or injury.  It is also rewarding to see children with autism learn and grow but feeling the emotion of a parent describing what Oxford Recovery Center has done for their child and the rest of the family is truly amazing. 

I have worked for several companies, big and small. There is no doubt Oxford Recovery Center is the best place I have ever worked. 

A typical day at the Oxford Center consists of working one on one with a client helping them with programs set in place by a supervising BCBA. I learned a lot about ABA and what it entails to go into a healthcare position. Management is very organized and supportive when it comes to trying to help employees with whatever they need. The culture consists of welcoming and supportive coworkers who will be open to answer any questions and offer any support needed. The hardest part of the job is learning to think quick on your feet as days can be unpredictable based on clients needs. This position also relies heavily on technology day to day. The most enjoyable part of the job is being a part of a community of people who are supportive and also being a part of helping clients progress. 

This is a great place to work. I absolutely love my job, the people I work with, and the purpose we serve. The CEO has an open door policy, which makes life so much easier here than other places. Anyone in the company can walk into her office any time they need. I've personally done this several times. I've even had her flag me in (she has a window right in front of her desk) when she was with someone at the time, she stopped her meeting, and answered my question. I have never been more happy at a job. It's an incredibly rewarding place to work. Pay and benefits are great, everyone is friendly and has a willingness to help everyone succeed. 

Completely saddened by the lack of training and support that I witnessed. No emotional support was offered and this is a position that requires it. Lack of team meetings resulted in even more lack of communication and structure. ABA Techs are changing the life of a child, and without proper training, risks are happening. Numerous times I saw a new tech start without prior experience who had no idea what he/she was doing, wasn't told proper steps and regulations, didn't understand how things were ran - weeks after they started. The demand for new workers was high, unfortunately the passion for proper introductions and initiations weren't important. While this company gave me a different outlook on life, it also brought much disappointment and grief. COVID response (or lack of) was absolutely shocking and made the situation even more upsetting - I won't even begin with that. Good luck!

The company and vision for serving those who are disabled or have medical challenges is amazing. I saw some great success and progress in clients who attended the center for medical needs or ABA therapy. The sad truth is that management doesn't care about employees and see them as replaceable. The CEO also hides in her office or is in the cafe having leisurely family time each and everyday while everyone else is scrambling to keep the place a float.  The therapists, BCBA's, kids, and BT's are hard working individuals who deserve more respect and recognition for the efforts they put in to keep the center a float. Unfortunately management is going to continue to lose valuable employees if they can't learn how to be respectful and professional with EVERY employee.
