Pros
Other experienced RBTs are very helpful when there are no supervisors in the building and a client is struggling. Despite higher level administration ignoring employee concerns, BCBAs are generally helpful.
Cons
Company expects employees to complete unpaid work (cleaning, paperwork, etc) off the clock. Company expects employees to wait around unpaid in between sessions and is unwilling to accommodate employee requests to not have long unpaid breaks. Company does not have policies to protect employees financially in the case of no-shows or cancellations; you get $5 even if you paid more in gas to get there. Company is unwilling to understand why employees expect to be paid more. Pay is lower than average for BTs in the area. I have not received a raise despite acquiring RBT certification. Frequently there are no BCBAs or supervisors at the clinic - only BTs. More hours are frequently promised and then removed from the BT's schedule. Scheduling is extremely disorganized. I have financially suffered since working here and would not recommend this job to anyone looking for a consistent job or work hours. I would not recommend this job if you want an employer that treats you with respect and acknowledges your concerns.
