Pros

FS is the perfect place to work for people who love kids, are passionate about evidence-based data-driven therapy, and enjoy a job where no two days are ever the same. Very little experience is required and the training is very thorough and staff is really supportive and pleasant to work with. I worked at the Walnut Creek location for two years and got promoted within my first year!

Cons

Your schedule changes from day-to-day, so you must be flexible!

Pros

1 dollar bonus after completing ~300 clinical hours

Cons

Not much support for new RBTs; de-escalation techniques learned on the job after earning certification, rather than during training. 1 dollar bonus is advertised as something earned automatically after completing 3 months on the job, but is actually only earned after completing 300 clinical hours.
