If you are a behavior technician (i.e. don't have your degree in psych or related field) then you are paid significantly less than Behavior practitioners for the exact same job. Even sometimes working harder than BPs and was not rewarded for that. You will be written up if you get sick, even if it is COVID, or the flu. Even if you're in the hospital and provide proof, HR will still write you up. This also affects your hiring bonus, which nobody told any of the employees. So many people quit under a year, there is so much staff turnover. Management and HR have horrible absence policies, emergency weather policies, etc. They took PTO hours from employees even when the whole clinic was closed due to snow and there was no work. Full time workers do not get sick days, it must come from your PTO if you've accrued it, otherwise it's a tally against you and that's only the first 40 hours. Working with kids so many people got sick and were afraid to miss work which puts children at risk so they'd come to work so ill. You only get a 30 minute lunch break and they don't give you time to go to the bathroom throughout the day, you just have to ask someone to watch your kid for you and sometimes that's impossible. Many times treatment plans are not updated so it makes it hard to do documentation. Definitely experienced behaviors from clients which was hard but they do tell you about that in the interview, so yeah. Made really good friends, but suffered everyday and was overworked overwhelmed and underpaid.
