Pros

The RBTs and BCBAs truly care about their clients' outcomes. The people are friendly and flexible. The teamwork is strong despite the barriers.

Cons

This may not be the case at some centers, as there are multiple locations, but this was my experience. There are significant barriers that impact service delivery and maintaining a clean, safe environment. There is no structure or organization and as an RBT you will spend most of your time trying to find materials and supplies. RBTs are left to their own devices, as there is often not a BCBA present while clients are receiving services and upper management does not consider this a problem. The BCBAs clearly try their best to support but they are stretched very thin. Expectations are not standard for all employees and they change once met while others are promoted based on their compliance with unethical, generic programming that actively punishes clients. There is clear favoritism toward employees with seniority vs staff who are newer. Upper management is more concerned with aesthetics than actual leadership. There is a focus on trauma-informed care while ignoring the problems actively causing trauma across clients and staff due to filthy and unsafe environmental conditions while providing services for a vulnerable population. The 20 hours billable goal for BCBAs is enticing, but you will struggle to meet this requirement due to the bulk of the administrative demands of HR and scheduling, despite there being teams to handle these matters. If you like paperwork and high school politics you'll be fine but if you care about your clients' outcomes and your RBTs' growth, safety, and happiness you will not find that here. Clients and staff cannot thrive where they are simply trying to survive.

Pros

There is incredibly high turnover with RBTs, but most staff there are devoted to their clients. The BAs are stretched very then and set up to fail, but they hold tight to their compassion and continue to try.

Cons

Wholly, RBTs are absolutely taken advantage of at these clinics. They are expendable, RBT retention averages 9 months-1 year. As an RBT you might be hired for one clinic and then they will identify that there is a need for you at another clinic and will only give you clients at that clinic; despite the amount of hours or location in which you were hired for. If you don’t comply, they will just not give you another client and “part ways” with you after 30 days. If your BCBA tries to promote you, they are asking multiple times in order for your promotion to go through and it unfortunately falls on the CD. It’s incredibly tough for BAs, I think some CDs within the company are more on top of their clinic needs, but I did not observe this in mine. Purchase orders are a mess and there are no budgets for clients. Very little structure and very, very low expectations. If you like playing the sorority girl, drama games, then you’ll probably make it. If not you, you’re going to be frustrated. The fragile egos of leadership and disorganization, distract everyone from focusing on client outcomes.
