Hard job made harder by poor management practices - RBT - Registered Behavior Technician Residential Options Employee Review

Pros

Reasonable pay for entry level position and you get to work with children 1:1 all day.

Cons

Little support from management, poor work life balance, equivalent of 6 days of "unexcused absences" allowed per year (includes family/life emergencies and sick days unless you get a doctor's note). You are required to give management one month's notice of any PTO you may need, any later than that and it is unexcused and counts against you. ABA side is very understaffed and therapists are not able to provide consistent, quality support because they are spread so thin. I was repeatedly put in unsafe situations with little to no guidance on how to respond to client aggression. Client and employee injuries were almost never documented or taken seriously.

Pros

This job has so many benefits to go through. Financially it's a very reasonably priced job for the area and they offer a plethora of great benefits if you work there. The therapists that you work with are so kind and caring about both their clients and their staff, and there's such a healing sense that everyone there is doing their best and you can be human. Along side of that a lot of the coworkers are amazing people and it's easy to build deep friendships in the job as well. They prioritize appropriate levels of training and feedback on how to customize and alter treatments to best fit a clients needs. The kids are amazing and you really build such a caring and loving connection with them as well. I just really can not say enough about this job, I would go back in a heartbeat.

Cons

Sometimes with caseloads on the therapists can make jobs a little stressful, and I think that some levels or professionalism need to be enforced at times. There was nothing that was ever a game changer for me and my employment there.

Pros

People there were friendly and willing to give advice when being asked.

Cons

Didn't provide sufficient training, especially about how to appropriately protect ourselves and our personal belongings(as RBTs) when working at clients' homes.
