Behavioral Framework Employee Reviews

Working here was amazing. I wasn’t sure if this was the future I was heading for till I started at this company. Training was easy, the BCBA I had was amazing and always helped me whenever my client engaged in aggressive behaviors. As for the company, they always have appreciation towards the RBTS by giving gift cards. The only reason I left was I wasn’t getting paid by the mile. My client was an hour away and I couldn’t afford the gas prices.

Meaningful work with lots of aupport

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Current Employee) - Fairfax, VA - December 5, 2023

I worked with younger kids, after school in their home. It could get stressful And intense but i always had support from supervisors. I learned so much and got certified as an RBT and experience. I didn’t see other rbts just supervisors and care coordinators. So so much support and help when needed. Hardest part was learning how to deal with parent issues and physical violence from clients, but the best part was becoming proficient and better at my job! I 10/10 recommend for a beginner.

Pros

Support and assistance

Cons

Short hours, in home care

Started off great…. But….

Clinical Supervisor (Current Employee) - Maryland - November 20, 2023

Started off as a great place to work, however it didn’t take long to see that their priority is making money and billable hours. Pay and benefits are good but high emphasis on billable hours means you are working with cookie cutter goals created by the assessment team. RBTs receive no training before starting but you are given no time to train them since most of your cases are at the same times in the evenings. This also makes it difficult to reach your 32 hours since cancellations are so high. If you are looking for a place that values ethics, quality ABA and a work/life balance, I recommend you keep looking.

RBT Therapist (Current Employee) - Rockville, MD - October 24, 2023

Flexible schedule, nice people easy job but when your clients go out you decided whether you join them or not but the company don’t pay for your gas and you may lose some work hours but overall is a good company.

Fun workplace

Behavior Technician (Current Employee) - Frederick, MD - October 2, 2023

Great workplace. Helpful supervisors and other team members. Company will have a hard time finding you a new case if you are in the process of becoming an RBT and family cancels within a week.

Sometimes the parents join the session.

BCBA Supervision and Growth

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Former Employee) - Fairfax, VA - September 25, 2023

I was able to get great BCBA Supervision while I worked directly with clients as an RBT. I had 2 clients and drove between them. There are moderately available opportunities for RBTs to grow into lead therapists or care coordinators.

Productive , fulfilling

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Current Employee) - Rockville, MD - September 19, 2023

Each day can be pretty repetitive but it’s really fulfilling to know your making progress in young child life . I’ve learned a lot about ABA practices from the very beginning with paid training and supportive management. Travel expanses aren’t covered and sometimes feels pointless since the hours each day during the week are short .

Pros

Flexible schedule

Cons

Not a lot of hours unless you take on multiple k clients

Mixed Review: pay and training concerns

Lead Behavioral Therapist (Former Employee) - Rockville, MD - September 13, 2023

I appreciate the values and mission of behavior frameworks as a company. However, the pay for experienced RBTs is questionable, as it is capped at $26 an hour even with a bachelor's degree. While behavior frameworks claim to offer competitive pay based on experience, education, performance, and market trends, this is not consistently reflected when advocating for oneself.If competitive pay is a significant factor for you, it is important to note that behavior frameworks may not have the financial resources to allocate for passionate, experienced, and ambitious RBTs.In my opinion, the company is overall great, but due to its smaller size, it may struggle to provide competitive wages. It is also worth mentioning that there appears to be a high turnover rate among RBTs, with many not lasting more than 3-6 months. Additionally, new RBTs may not receive proper training or information about the requirements of the position. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct thorough research before applying as an RBT, as the role should not be mistaken for mere babysitting. In my opinion, BF needs more care coordinators out in the field teaching/ training RBTs, and BCBAs need to be given more time to dedicate to this as well, especially with RBTs who are struggling in certain areas. But BF isn't ready for that conversation.

Pros

values and mission

Cons

pay rates are not competitive

Not enough support

Behavior Technician (Current Employee) - Sterling, VA - September 10, 2023

I worked for a bit and I did not have the best experience due to the family I was paired with. Experiences depend on if you receive enough support and if the family is willing for a change and that wasn’t the case in my situation.

Not the best experience

RBT Therapist (Current Employee) - Rockville, MD - August 17, 2023

It was a good experience but the pay was not good and the support could have been better.The paper work you do is just that it’s writing and tracking data on paper.

Good starting place

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Current Employee) - Fairfax County, VA - August 8, 2023

It's great work experience for college students starting their career. Training takes quite a while especially if you need BLS certification too. Training is unpaid but reimbursed. Takes about 2 weeks after background checks and offer letter to be assigned to your first client. On site training is between ok and bad depending on how good your BCBA is, I received 1 day of training from client's former RBT and then fed to the wolves (you're supposed to get a week). There's unfortunately no further growth in this company as an RBT. Hours have a bad tendency of getting cut any you often don't get enough hours (in the first place (no reimbursement for client cancelations). There's no financial support when being reassigned, reassignment often takes 2 weeks. Schedule is very flexible and communicated, same-day, emergency cancelations are unpunished. Great place to start, not a good place to stay- leave for a higher paying company after a year.

Pros

Work experience, free RBT and BLS training, fulfilling work, easy hire with any childcare experience

Cons

Too few hours, high turnover, lacking support

Great job

Behavior Technician (Current Employee) - Manassas, VA - August 5, 2023

This type of job is not meant for everyone. Requires a lot of patience but overall it is a very rewarding job. I have had good and bad supervisors. If you get a good one, it makes the job a lot easier.

Valuable Work Yet Prone to Isolation and Stress

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Former Employee) - Virginia - July 20, 2023

As it says in the title, the work itself is incredibly valuable and seeing growth in clients is amazing. On the flip side, while the company pays decent per hour to start, pay plateaus quickly, benefits are minimal, high bar to reach for reimbursement for commutes, and is also very lonely. The job of being in home usually by yourself with the client and their family for 20 hours a week is incredibly stressful and overwhelming. You feel very alone and besides supervision once a week, BF does very little to create a sense of community and support system for RBTs, which is probably why burnout is incredibly high.

They are constantly hiring but don’t seem clear in what they want

BCBA (Former Employee) - Maryland - June 11, 2023

This company is focused on helping individuals with autism, but rarely hire nuerodivergent people to fill the roles. As a result, they are constantly posting job advertisements for roles and have high turnover under the guise of having high standards. The face of ABA is changing and this company is more focused on fixing versus accepting based on my short term experiences here.
