Great people, questionable company - Behavior Technician bei Autism Learning Partners: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The compensation has me nearly homeless. It’s completely unsustainable; turnover rate is extremely high and they’re trying to bring people on at higher wages than they’re paying current BT’s. Travel is bad. They’ll tell you they compensate you, but you’d be more likely to get a deduction from your taxes. Don’t even try with them; just log it and report any excess travel for work during tax season. Your personal vehicle is not covered by them in any way; you take on the expenses of wear and tear, gas, and any damage / incidents that may occur on your way to, from, or at your clients home. They have no way of keeping you safe when you’re in home; everything is reactionary instead of proactive. Clients can be physically violent. They have health insurance but I have yet to be able to afford it; I’m on state-sponsored insurance. Your mental and physical well-being and health are not priorities. They mainly care about whether or not the client is fine to keep doing sessions. Bathroom breaks are sparse, and mandatory break periods are usually eaten up by travel for most BT’s. Plan ahead and pack things you can eat very quickly in your car. Supervision can be hit or miss depending on the BCBA. Some are nice people and some aren’t. They are your lifeline, however, and when they don’t show up to sessions for an entire month it gets dicey with programs.
