Pros

- Loved working with clients and young children - Enjoyed working with some other BTs on a few different teams! -Good experience for if you have never practiced ABA and first time working with autism diagnosis.

Cons

- I worked in Michigan. My supervisor never responded to emails, or when I have asked her questions pertaining to the client she would never give proper feedback. - I initially asked for full time hours and I only received an average of 10 hours a week. - I was lied to about company policies, regarding staying on a team and being switched off. - I conducted my sessions with professionalism and input techniques from outside feedback. However, was switched off of 2 different cases without it being communicated to me or legitimate explanation. I was informed through clients parents about another tech taking over my sessions. No explanation from supervision or higher ups. - Lacked stable hours. They will want you to drive far without pay for mileage. You will only receive a few cents per mile that goes over 30 miles. Any mileage under 30 you won’t receive pay. - The Ann Arbor clinic lacked supportive atmosphere. When trying to gain clarity on situations, the responses were passive as if they didn’t care to answer. Poor/Nasty attitudes and lacked professionalism. - I am leaving due to lack of stability, communication, and professionalism. They have only given me 2 hours a week at this point which is crazy. 2 hours!

Pros

- Decent benefits - Entry level - Lots of training and supervision - Can commute from home to do home visits instead of working at the clinic - Holidays off - Paid for mileage above 30 miles

Cons

- Sometimes felt "best practice" and "what is right for the client" are in conflict / ethical dilemmas - Often strange hours (for example, I'd work from 8:30-1:00 pm, and then drive to a separate client to work from 5:00-8:00 pm)

Pros

Pretty flexible schedule that worked around my school schedule at the time.

Cons

I would travel 1.5 hours to and from a clients home and would only get reimbursed for a couple miles. Sessions were only 3 hours long so it wasn’t worth it. BCBA training on programs looked like putting new programs in a system to have you read. BCBAs would just sit on their computers during supervision which was very uncomfortable for RBTs. They would also knit pick at mistakes. Some families were extremely difficult to work with. Seemed like ABA and what it entails was never fully explained to some families. It was not fun making my 4 year clients forcefully try various foods to potentially expand their snack interests. I would get my hair and clothes pulled, slapped, and the client would hurt themself. We would have to wait out tantrums for hours. Seems unethical.
