Pros
It's a job and it pays money on time.
Cons
Lindamood-Bell doesn't care about it's programs, employee's, or clients. The program materials available in the office are mostly torn, water damaged, and dirty. Teachers are minimally trained in a variety of programs that require a robotic like script. Don't get me wrong, the programs work but execution of the programs require practice. This undermines the client by providing services that are many times under par. The cubicles they put students in are a filthy joke; torn, dusty, and falling apart. When you require your employees to uphold the famous Disney model, dress in business attire while attending to active children, and pay them sub-par wages you can expect to lose your best employees within only a few months, keep your most desperate employees, and have an office culture that is full of sad clowns. That's because at Lindamood-Bell, every one has a smile. Remember kids, this is a professional company run by professionals who adhere to the Disney model. At least Disney has security for when someone gets out of hand and provides them with access to a theme park. Lindamood-Bell pays on average about $4 less than other companies providing the same or similar services. In addition to paying less than everyone in the same market, Lindamood-Bell feels that in order to maintain quality control they must review their clinicians performance every week and in the summer multiple times a day. This is silly and does not help with quality control, it builds animosity within the office because these reviews are mostly subjective. Oh, one last thing before I forget. Employee breaks are overlooked and many employees go without breaks because of the lack of internal organization within the company. This is illegal people, breaks are required and they intimidate people into working through their breaks. I would request to take a break and many people acted as if though I were asking for a raise, this is intimidation. Management does nothing about it because who the hell is managing the place anyway? The office director is more like the sales manager and the assistant director is responsible for everything else, which is impossible to handle i an already mismanaged environment.
