Pros

I worked at the company for almost a year as both an Instructor and Lead Instructor. Overall FirstSteps for Kids is a great company and I only have good things to say. I had little experience in the field and so it was great to receive the amazing training I did. Not only do they focus on theoretical training, but they also do overlaps and ease you into running sessions independently. The staff with more experience, especially the Program Directors, are incredible and are always willing to help. Communication within the staff is also a positive of this company. They are also great with working with you in terms of hours and location. Support in terms of wanting to advance in the field is always there as well. This company is truly amazing and I would definitely recommend it and come back in the future.

Cons

Other than the complications that come with scheduling, there are no cons.

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.
