Pros

-Great initial training on the basic principles of A.B.A. -Supportive P.D.'s always available to answer questions, open to comments and observations -Opportunities for growth within the company

Cons

-Low pay rate for amount of work and responsibility. Often times responsibilities given were out of job title. -Need thorough training on state laws, regulations, L.A.U.S.D policies etc. -More specific safety plans in place (especially for high risk children) in the school setting -Should establish a clearer hierarchy of parent and teacher communication, concerns relayed to instructors (re-directing questions/concerns to the P.D.'s, P.M.'s)

Pros

1 dollar bonus after completing ~300 clinical hours

Cons

Not much support for new RBTs; de-escalation techniques learned on the job after earning certification, rather than during training. 1 dollar bonus is advertised as something earned automatically after completing 3 months on the job, but is actually only earned after completing 300 clinical hours.
