-To be frank, time off package sucks. It leaves a lot to be desired. Takes forever to accrue and what you earn isn't a whole lot.
-Unpaid time off - not sure why this is even offered. Especially for those on salary (so if your salary is 50k, if you take unpaid time, that means your salary is not 50k). Not to mention, you earn unpaid time off at a faster rate than paid time off.
-PTO does not change based on promotion/advancement levels either.
-BCBA pay is not as competitive.
-No opportunities for bonuses.
-Sometimes it feels like administration overrides clinical.
-Blurred lines: people (especially higher up) seem to have multiple roles so you're not sure who to go to with what.
-Again, with the blurred lines, it seems like some people are overwhelmed in their roles because they are really doing multiple jobs.
-Limited & inconsistent training opportunities. There is no one training method - each center trains differently.
-There is a strong emphasis on clocked-in staff billing, which limits the unbillable activities that our technicians could be doing that would also increase their skills.
-No RBT trainer roles.
-Personally, I believe the Level 2 Supervision Students should be salaried. While they can be direct-line staff as needed, at this point, they become indirect-support staff. Worrying about going into OT because a parent meeting ran long, should be the last thing on their mind.
-Dress code policy is a little nitpicky. They give you shirts, but salaried staff can't wear the shirts. Can only wear ABC jackets, even though we are in a ABC building. Salaried staff is expected to dress business casual, even though I think given the field, smart causal should be the expectation.
-Some of the perks available pre-COVID are no longer available - for example: the swimming lessons/pool, community outings, daycare for staff, etc.
