Pros
- The kiddos are amazing and you can learn a lot from them. - Some supervisors have a lot of experience in the field, they are caring, flexible, and creative. - The classroom like training is very thorough.
Cons
- Some parents are not interested in applying strategies for managing behaviors in their household which makes for slower progress with the kiddos. - Some supervisors BCBA's are are not as creative in helping you find strategies to manage behaviors in more aggressive kiddos. -Some supervisors BCBA's are less willing to collaborate with Behavior Interventionists and don't communicate the reasons for implementing a program or the long term strategies behind those goals. - Behavior Interventionists are given very little in the field training, and are not shown strategies for aggressive clients. - Some supervisors do not get materials to you in a timely manner. - From what I have seen with this company they don't move people up very often as they do not give out raises very frequently. I have been here a year and not received a review or a raise. If you push for it you will get goals that you will have to meet and get checked off by supervisors in order to be eligible for a raise. In all fairness I have not looked too much into getting a raise, but usually a company will give you a 6 month review and a yearly and i have not heard from management about either.
