Pluspunten

There are TONS of learning opportunities at Hopebridge. I'm a relatively new BCBA but I feel like I've learned so much more at Hopebridge than in all my time at any other company. There is a lot of resources to help BCBAs out. Hopebridge's clinical structure provides a regional BCBA that comes around to each center every month or so to provide overlapping supervision with each BCBA. I've found this to be very helpful because it gives us a fresh perspective on any issues we might be having with patients. There are opportunities to advance to lead BCBA, senior BCBA, assistant clinical director, and then clinical director, however, both clinical director positions are dependent on the size of the center from what I understand, so those opportunities may not be guaranteed. There is a big emphasis on compassionate care and assent based treatment at Hopebridge. I also LOVE that all of the patients are in center (at least at my location) because I'm used to driving for multiple hours a day to get to patients. They also recently introduced work from home days where you get 2 per month.

Minpunten

With Hopebridge being such a large company, there is a lot of red tape when it comes to any decision making so no decisions really happen at the center level. There's also hiring and patient quotas they make centers try to meet very quickly which creates a heavier workload for BCBAs between training new hires, conducting intial evaluations, and onboarding patients. There are a lot of expectations and responsibilities for BCBAs on a daily basis which makes creating a work/life balance difficult. There is a lot of emphasis on BCBAs to conduct parent trainings every two weeks with families which can be draining. We also have to lead group trainings every two weeks with all of the RBTs in our "pods" which is just another thing to add to the workload. I do enjoy doing those but it's usually my last priority so it's a struggle to come up with quality content. Lastly: we use Rethink. Nothing else needs to be said there.

Pluspunten

I loved working at Hopebridge. Management was incredible and BCBAs were very supportive. Fellow RBTs also helped so much and made the day easier to get through.

Minpunten

When you are freshly an RBT (and I mean literally.. the day after you pass) you are thrown into subbing if there isn't a caseload ready for you. It can be extremely overwhelming for someone who just passed their exam.

Pluspunten

Team potlucks and occasional opportunities for coworker connection.

Minpunten

Policies and expectations were unclear from the start. Information was often passed between staff instead of directly from leadership, leading to frequent contradictions and confusion. Management lacked fairness and consistency. Availability that was clearly communicated was not respected, and agreed-upon scheduling accommodations were not followed. This created unnecessary stress, especially for employees balancing childcare and other responsibilities. There appeared to be clear inconsistencies in how flexibility was granted, which at times felt selective rather than policy-based. There were also concerns regarding illness protocols. Clients who were visibly unwell were not always sent home in a timely manner, even when it impacted their ability to participate in therapy. This created challenges for both staff and client well-being. The work environment also felt unprofessional at times, with indirect communication and inappropriate discussions about staff. Support during medical or personal situations was limited, with a more rigid and punitive approach taken even when reasonable alternatives were available. Overall, this was not a supportive or well-structured environment, and I would not recommend it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's encouraging to hear that you valued the team connections made during potlucks, but we are truly sorry to learn about the challenges you faced regarding policies and communication. Clear and consistent communication is essential for a positive work environment, and we recognize that there is always room for improvement in this area. Your comments on management practices and scheduling accommodations are particularly concerning. We strive to create a supportive atmosphere that respects the needs of our team members, and we'll take your feedback to heart as we evaluate our current practices. Regarding client health protocols, we understand how important it is for both staff and clients to feel safe and supported. We will review our procedures to ensure they align with our commitment to well-being. Thank you once again for your candid feedback. We are committed to making necessary changes to enhance our work environment and support our staff more effectively.
