My experience as an RBT Trainee
One month and done. Not the training, not the kids, not the philosophy. The facility. Nasty. Floors never vacuumed nor swept. Lunchroom garbage can emptied once every two weeks. No janitorial service whatsoever. Beanbags, chairs, doors, bathrooms (many of which had no TP, but DID have paper towels) all never cleaned. Refrigerators had mouse droppings INSIDE them. The entire facility smelled of urine. Absolutely disgusting. I messaged the facility manager/boss... whatever, that it wasn't for me and his response was "What we do isn't for everone". The Health Department is getting a complaint on Monday, with pictures.

I get this. I’ve stuck it out at my current job for a year but it’s a building that’s disgusting and falling apart constantly. Part of the roof caved in. It leaks when it rains. They tell us that we’re supposed to clean but they don’t give us time to clean so we’re all so confused about when that’s supposed to happen -_-

Okay…
That sucks and is an example of a poorly managed company.
Ever visit a friend’s house or a family member’s house and think, “gosh, I would never live like that”?
Some people who are not aware of things like taking out trash or cleaning up (it should be required by law but what do I know?) own businesses and treat their businesses the same.
They may never change but you certainly can. Hopefully you find a place that isn’t disgusting. I would feel exactly the same way.
