Pros

Working at FirstSteps helped me grow as a person, and has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of human development. It is not only rewarding to work and guide families and children, but you also learn so much in return during the process.

Cons

This job will inevitably have days where you are commuting for long durations, and your schedule is likely to change randomly throughout the week. However, this is a type of job that will always have this con due to the nature of it. This may be a issue for some, and could cause unwanted stress. There is no pay from home to work, or work to home; only from client to client. This may add to the stressors of driving.

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.
