Pros

Coworkers are attentive. Environment is really friendly and accommodating. Great place to work if you enjoy working with kids. Training is a big part of the learning process.

Cons

In the offer letter they claim to pay you the full rate, yet during drive time to patient’s homes they pay you like $13 for that hour of drive time. Training is extremely overwhelming. When you apply for this job it doesn’t say in the job description you get quizzes every day for 1 and a half week and if you don’t pass the exams, you will not be able to work at FirstSteps. They care a little more about the patients than their own employees.

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.
