Pros

-good place to start a career in ABA -client diversity

Cons

-clients cancelled all the time w/o any penalty. I would drive all the way to the clinic (almost 45 minute drive for me) just for the client to cancel at the last minute, I was never paid drive time or given any compensation for that day. -they staff you with clients very randomly and out of the blue. I went from a 20-hour week to a 39-hour week with less than a week's notice and no option to decline -took advantage of availability... they scheduled me to work 8:30-12:30 AND 4-7 almost daily so my entire day was taken up only to be paid for 7 hours -poor communication with supervisors regarding clients behavior plans; literally had to come up with my own lessons and prepare my own materials because I was given no instruction -some of the supervisors talk down to the RBTs -difficult to get in touch with HR for anything

Pros

barely any pros. the kiddos themselves and the relationships with them you build.

Cons

RUN. cash cow private equity company. They used to be a great company until as of late. Now it’s all about chasing the money . They fired an entire team just to use AI for scheduling that doesn’t know what a “schedule” or “availability /hours available” are. and if you don’t just say yes to the 1 hour warning text from an AI bot? good luck not getting written up and talked down to. The force you to use your personal phone and blow it up through the entire day , but don’t pay a phone stipend or provide a work phone. turn over is insane to the point “new” RBT’s don’t even know who the clinic director is and thinks they are a fellow RBT. most gossip and clique together and if you don’t belong within that- good luck getting any support or guidance.
