Pros

Paid training and RBT certification.

Cons

In my interview they had clients in my location but after 6 months of working there, I never had a client even close to my location. I was commuting up to 2.5 hrs a day which was obviously straining. Pay also wasn’t good, I started at $19 and when I got certified, nothing changed and they didn’t seem to promote very often. Also was very “clicky”. If you didn’t know certain BCBA’s or even the head boss lady, you were basically excluded from the work culture.

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.
