Pros
-I did work there for 8 years so there are a lot of things that are great about LBLP -I did survive the recession while working at LBLP and I got my Master's Degree while working full time at LBLP. So for the right person/reasons and if you are at the right location they can and will accommodate your schedule -Most of the kids are great -The company is ever evolving in a number of ways so if you enjoy constant change, even if it just changes right back, you may enjoy working for LBLP -It's a perfect gig if you are in school or have another means of revenue
Cons
Once I became a consultant I NEVER stopped working. The expectation was that I'd be readily accessible to each of my parents, the expert on each of my kids, and deliver top notch quality individualized lesson plans for my students on my load no matter what it took. More often than not this happened outside the hours of 8-5 while I was not on the clock. The company is very elitist. I realized this early on. They have a product that millions of people can benefit from but only the HAVES can truly make it work according to the formula. When I started the hourly rate for service was $86 when I left 8 years later it was $114. My pay increased averaged less than $1 a year. I think one year I got a $0.25 raise. If you are a White female who looks like you may have been in a sorority and you're not an idiot you will do well at LBLP. If you are not, just know you'll stagnate. There are few men or women of color that thrive in that company. They are selective as to who they promote regardless of skill set or what you have to offer. I witnessed someone with no clinical background get promoted from an operations position over people who had been in the clinical role for years. They believe anyone can be taught yet they choose to develop who they want to develop. If you make a mistake it's made into this huge deal. HUGE. They are really ambitious but don't seem to have the basics as far as how to run a successful business mastered yet despite being in business for so long.
