Pros

Amazing training and support from other staff. The kids are amazing and I’ve had some great supervisors since I started.

Cons

Last minute covers, scheduling doesn’t seem to consider commute time or time between sessions. My pay as a lead was capped. My office has had 4-5 supervisors leave in the last year. There is too much turnover, pay is too low and expectations are too high.

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.
