Total Spectrum

The company has changed a lot over the time I’ve been working there and not great changes. Seems like upper management stresses out BCBAs and then that gets put on RBTs expectations. It can be hard to mange all the task while trying to work with your client to provide the best care possible. It’s like having to juggle prioritizing your services towards client and  the higher ups expectations. They act like they care about your burn out though we are told to work it out amongst ourselves. The best part about this job is working with client and implementing programs in creative ways. Made me realize how much I love working in social services and therapy services. Though if you are a person juggle more than just a job in your life. It will be stressful. 

If you like to work with kids and help them grow their skills,  this is a great starter job. They give you two weeks of full-time training before you even start, so you are very prepared. The schedule is flexible as well. The only downsides are that a) you aren't guaranteed enough clients to make it financially viable, and b) home-visits can be very awkward for people who aren't used to having to go into people's homes to work. I had to leave because I did not have enough clients assigned to me. 

bcbas were cliquey, fully witnessed one of the bcbas asking a technician if they wanted food or drink from across the street (which i believe is against the ethics code), bcbas clearly play favoritism and at least to me seemed to supervise their favorites over their not favorites more. i was lucky and made a few friends but towards the end i felt like some of the staff were pushing me to quit simply because they didnt like me

Ive worked as a RBT for another company and eventually made the switch to this company. Upper management is usually lack luster with updating BIPs, Accurately defining operation definitions, and I've also experienced a lack of professionalism as well.

When you are working as a RBT here, there's only so much to do until your met with the systems put in place by BcBa. 

Systems are not the best but it is a good place to grow RBT skils.

I love working here! Training was easy and paid, they do a lot of prep for the certification exam. Requesting off is easy, all of my supervisors are all fantastic. Some are definitely more tough love but it’s all good. If you travel between clients you get reimbursed! But you need to drive yourself. I typically uber or use the bus and they don’t pay for that. Kids are all great, you’re changing lives. Great communication!

They expect you to know everything right anyway, i’ve had two BCBA put me alone after one session with clients with high behavior and expect me to know everything and go ghost after. There’s no support only received support from one BCBA, the rest were unsupportive. The company does not care for you. 

Great job if you are looking for part time work.  Amazing supervisors and staff.  Not a job where you can just sit around and get paid. It can be hard work.

Poorly ran by "upper management".  The care level of BCBAS for RBTS is rare. Not a great environment. Inconsistent hours, inconsistent with everything really. They don't pay you if your client cancels. 

The job is very hands on and can be fun. Management not the best anymore. They have changed a lot since the company. The hours are not consistent. You have help but you can use more
