Pros
Really understanding BCBAs, flexible hours.
Cons
Scheduling doesn't listen to BCBA or RBT, they mess with scheduling clients leaving RBT/BCBA to deal with it, and don't schedule the hours RBTs are entitled to. This job is hard enough without scheduling messing around with people's income. I have half a mind to ask if scheduling needs help, because I have parents coming to me frustrated with scheduling not approving their requests and scheduling doesn't add clients or listen to you unless you cc the regional director onto the email. Parents and RBTs should have to constantly cc the regional director to get scheduling to do their jobs. Also BCBAs are overworked with too many clients meaning they don't have the time to give support to clients and RBTs that they normally would. With the way gas prices are predicted to go up, the compensation they're offering isn't going to be enough and they're going to lose a lot of RBTs between gas prices and scheduling frustrating everyone.
