Pros
I loved all of my kiddos. The pay is better than most companies (that’s where they get you).
Cons
Breaks- Three 7-minute breaks if you’re lucky. Filthy Center- a client has stepped in another learners feces in a classroom. Kids and staff are always ill. ringworm spread, kids are always vomiting or having loose bowel movements but management will find ways to keep them so they can make more money. PTO- it’s terrible, sick days and vacation days are in the same pto bank. they claim there’s unlimited unpaid time off but they pick and choose who they want to approve and you have to request it two weeks in advance. Although, you’ll get written up if they have to send you home due to illness but you don’t have the pto to cover it. Management- extreme favoritism and ignore the RBTs feedback. Closed off. Malicious. Pot stirring. Money hungry. Promotes their value of “always be yourself” but are incredibly two-faced. Predominantly white- POC are easily targeted when it comes to staff drama. Had one coworker who was reprimanded for the way they speak to the children (not “talking white”) and said that’s why kids aggress to them. Not to mention most clients are POC. Have witnessed a white BCBA become more aggressive with their black clients compared to their white clients when dealing with behaviors. Shady and Untrustworthy Coworkers- techs will purposely try to get you fired or written up if they don’t like you. They will make false accusations with no evidence to back it up. Basically this job is good for you if you loved the high school drama. Most of the employees are in it for the wrong reasons and never for the kids. It’s drama and a war to getting promotions. Management plays a huge role into it. Your misery is not worth the pay. AT ALL
