Pros

The hourly wage is great! You also have a LOT of freedom to make decisions.

Cons

Major changes are constantly being made and staff are not notified. The owner will promise you full time hours, then string you along until you accept working part-time. The only training provided is the 40-hour RBT training course that you do online, but the course doesn't begin to teach you what you will need to know when you start working with clients. No ongoing training except for 3-4 visits per week from the LaBA (who isn't actually being supervised by the BCBA). I only saw the BCBA once a month if I was lucky and when she showed up, all she did was confuse staff and parents by talking about procedures and concepts that weren't relevant to the client. The owner also uses a multi-disciplinary approach, and since starting at a new ABA company, I've learned that her approach violates several ethical codes because it is often not behavior analytic in nature. I would say the worst part about working here was the communication--which wasn't even bad, it just didn't exist. She opened a clinic and nobody knew about it until she started relocating staff there. Even then, not even the supervisors understand what is going on in that location. The lack of communication also means that the staff (myself included) have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

Pros

- Flexibility with job location - Options for growth within the company. The supervisors and admin work with students or those interested to grow in the field to find school programming, credentialing, answering questions, and pairing the aspiring student with a mentor. - Clear guidelines for expectation of clinical duties and RBT expectations - Supervisors who are constantly informed on new literature and approaches within the field - Ability to have communication throughout supervisors in the company and training on specific areas from the respective supervisors - Initial training provided and supportive going training. When I have questions or new programming was added, each of my supervisors has provided me with the support to implement program and provided training until I felt ready and prepared to implement it myself. - Ability to openly communicate with all staff members and admin. - Admin ensures to support RBT and families. If I had had a scheduling change to my personal schedule or when I had moved locations, admin worked to accommodate these changed and made placement accordingly to clear communication. - Options for training in new areas outside of current caseload programming. The owner has set up routine training opportunities that discuss areas within the field at large. This has really helped me see the big picture of what I am doing. -Top it off with GREAT benefits.

Cons

-Company has had rapid growth
