Pros

Helping students learn how to read, comprehend, and K-5 math skills

Cons

-Two day paid bereavement -Employees at the Center Director and above are overcompensated, Clinicians, Consultants, and Learning Center Assistants are under-compensated (especially frustrating because centers charge $150-$180 per session which is either 45 or 55 minutes) and cannot always make a living wage depending on what time of year it is -Little effective development and feedback given, employees are expected to succeed regardless -Had to sign and NDA about LB's teaching methods in order to be hired (despite what the company says to the contrary, their priority is profitability not helping children) -Until recently (last year or two) employees were required to sign another agreement prohibiting them from asking for July 4th off -If/When another staff member calls out, the schedule is changed to force the rest of the team to pick up the slack which results in Consultants loosing time to write lesson plans and Clinicians losing time to prepare for other sessions, and can pull the ACD and CD from other responsibilities as well -Far less time off compared to teaching roles with school districts -Extremely high turn over -Prior management in the Jacksonville center chose not to terminate employees that were incompetent, which then became my responsibility in the ACD role -Management above the Center Director chose to demote the CD who had managed me for 6+ months to be working below me and was then someone I was required to supervise -When I asked for support during the period of time when there was no Center Director (after the person had been demoted) I was told that I was making a mountain our of a mole hill and employees in my position were expected to do everything that was being asked of me

Pros

It’s great to try to help people, but…

Cons

They’re so set on their particular philosophical style, but realistically, it cannot be one size fits all. Clinicians who work there are NOT experts; they only get two weeks of training. And the sessions are extremely tight, with back-to-back students (just five minutes between each, leaving no time to prepare for the next one and no chance for clinicians to catch a breath). Lessons take place in cramped, mostly shared spaces, so everyone tends to be over-stressed. There’s no way that what is taught there, and the environment in which it’s taught, is worth what they’re charging families. Not to mention that the staff break room is like the size of a closet, and even in that tight space, many people just aren’t very friendly and hardly acknowledge your presence.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We appreciate that our mission of helping students reach their learning potential resonated with you. At the same time, we are disappointed to read your comments regarding training, scheduling, and your experience with our instructional model. Our initial training is designed to prepare clinicians to begin working one-to-one with students using our unique approach. That training continues through ongoing mentoring and instructional guidance from experienced staff members who oversee lesson planning, monitor student progress, and support instructional quality. This team-based model is central to our instructional approach and to supporting student outcomes. We regret that the purpose and value of this model were not evident during your employment. We also recognize that learning center work can be demanding, particularly during busy periods, and we appreciate your perspective regarding scheduling and the work environment. Feedback such as yours is valuable as we continue working to improve communication and the overall staff experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
