Pros

Introduction to ABA and opportunity to learn from educated BCBAs. Strong BCBAs and openness to learning.

Cons

You as an RBT are the last priority and expendable. The benefits are underwhelming. Multiple promises of promotion without compensation changes. Once promised included changing from hourly to a salary without change in pay but an increase in work expectations. Quotable moments: "you are lucky you don't have to pay for this experience, in other centers, you would owe the company for this supervision" "Make your NET while watching Netflix, that way it won't feel like you're working".

Pros

Flexible hour, good if you are a student

Cons

Dont have health coverage but it's not really a con because it's a part-time position and they already stated this when you starting the job.

Pros

Full time center hours was the only pro

Cons

Pretty much everything. VB used to be a great company at the forefront of ABA services but they are stuck in 2017 with no interest in getting better. They are the laughing stock of the field now. The company has gotten so corporate and heartless. They only care about money, not about the kids. They reinforce absolutely terrible behavior from staff in order to not have difficult conversations and then deflect blame. They expect the world from employees who are stretched so thin and are begging for help. And if you dare speak up or call these things out, you get labeled as a problem and get forced out one way or another.
