Pros
- The kids are awesome! They make my day, even on my worst days. - Therapists and supervisors are encouraged to recognize each other for going above and beyond in their therapy. - The company pays for all the training (2x what is required) to get the RBT certification. - There is some ongoing training and I have been consistently learning and improving as an RBT since I started this job. - Insurance benefits available
Cons
- It seems the same at most companies, but the pay could be better. - HR is hard to deal with and disorganized. - Communication between supervisors and therapists is not always great. - The training was disorganized and I didn't always feel supported during the process. - After training, there could be more support and supervision for new hires while they are still learning. - Communication about client programs is not always clear. - Not much admin time so planning group activities, art projects, games, writing notes, etc, is almost impossible. - Unless you plan on becoming a BCBA or a COM with the company, there is no room for professional growth or pay raises. - The company expects you to take on "leadership roles" without being paid to take on the extra responsibilities.
