Leadership does not respect RBTs
Pros
Amazing group of RBTs!! We have never had issues between therapists. The way therapy is conducted is great! A very positive environment where kindness and respect for our kids is upheld.
Cons
Leadership at the Helm has proved many times that they do not respect their team of RBTs. Favoritism is very apparent at this location. If you are a POC do not work here. They have proven that even if MULTIPLE people (including another BCBA) speak out saying they feel disrespected and uncomfortable due to a racist member of leadership, their concerns are brushed aside and the BCBA that is the cause of this is not made to take any responsibility for their actions. This showed our entire team that how we feel is not as important as maintaining the leadership team, specifically white members of the leadership team. Also, when many issues were brought up by many team members, instead of fixing the root of the problems in the leadership team, an “open door” policy was instead re-implemented and enforced. This seemed to our team like members of leadership were more concerned about us not talking about the bad things going on rather than fixing what was going on. Overall, while I think most of the memberships of leadership are good people, they are not good leaders. There are many people who are not happy at the Helm and they will see after yet another staff turnover that there needs to be changes made.
