In this economy? No - RBT - Registered Behavior Technician Lighthouse Autism Center Employee Review

Support staff, strong protocols and policies, kind leadership, wonderful RBT staff, great training experience for onboarding, guaranteed hours, very welcoming everyday, BCBAs who immediately support during behavior, clear programming

Could have a playground and more outdoor space for clients

The wonderful clients and RBTs make the clinic such a fun place to work at. The level up opportunities for RBTs are a great way for techs to move up within the company, even if they are not pursuing a Masters degree in ABA. The benefits available are pretty good and the hours of operation are good for a work/life balance.

The management at this clinic engages in favoritism, does not uphold supervision duties, and can be such a sour individual to work with at times. This is the primary reason for the lower rating. Though Lighthouse has great opportunities for RBTs, individuals who are pursuing a master’s degree are not given clear outlines of promotions or adequate supervision currently. This clinic also struggles to take staff concerns seriously which has since resulted in bullying, favoritism, and overall lower moral of staff. Lighthouse also offers an “optional” lunch as a means for cutting corners and and cutting costs across the company. This means that even though full time positions are offered, in order to get 40hrs per week, you skip taking a lunch break. If you do decide to take a lunch, that “full time” then only becomes 37.5 hrs per week. While I understand things change constantly, this seems a bit inhumane to make staff decide between making their 40 hours or taking a break from a highly demanding job during the day to actually sit down and eat something. This has increased burnout in many of the staff members unfortunately.
