Pros

The positive and meaningful impact you have on the kids and families you work with. Program directors are usually pretty great at answering questions and addressing issues related to the caseload immediately.

Cons

Administrative staff can often be condescending and unthoughtful of instructors. There are a lot of last minute covers where you're sent to random cases that are often a recipe for disaster because you're not familiar with the client. It's not a good feeling to have you're schedule in place but then to have it changed at the last minute through an abrupt message. Also, a con is to have to drive so much all over Los Angeles.

Pros

1 dollar bonus after completing ~300 clinical hours

Cons

Not much support for new RBTs; de-escalation techniques learned on the job after earning certification, rather than during training. 1 dollar bonus is advertised as something earned automatically after completing 3 months on the job, but is actually only earned after completing 300 clinical hours.
