Great Work, So-So Compant

Pros

The work is extremely fulfilling, the staff was absolutely wonderful to work with at my center, the clients are wonderful, and it really works. You can see the massive growth of the kids you work with in the time you work with them and it's incredible to see.

Cons

The pay is not great, and there is little to no room for advancement despite multiple trainings you receive. I trained into entirely new positions and capacities 3 times and received a 0% pay increase, and the maximum bonus I got from my yearly review came out to 68 cents. The only raise is a one dollar raise for becoming a Mentor and further raises for company advancement to positions like ACD or CD and upwards. They do not want to pay you but they absolutely want to work you, and it's tough work. The kids are delightful, but they can also be tough to deal with, especially if there are contributing factors like diagnoses (that you often won't be forewarned about) or issues at home, or the fact that it's often hard for them to do the work. You can often feel unsupported by management if you aren't very willing to stand up for yourself and your coworkers.

Pros

Consistent hours during the summer. Lots of training

Cons

Slow during the school year. If you're full time, you pretty much have to teach curriculum during the school year. Not much room for growth

Pros

The company is well-structured so that you do mainly what you are employed to do with set breaks and benefits that are well respected. The people who work here also tend to be motivated by doing good in the world and having ethical jobs. It is easy to build rapport here.

Cons

If you are an educator by background or motivated by quality, this company can have some questionable practices. Being that it is a for-profit education center, some of the testing practices I witnessed favored skewing results so it would look like students made more of an improvement (even when their tests after hours of instruction were lower or the same) and less support to students taking their entrance exams led to more accurate (usually meaning lower) scores as well. The company is high turnover because while management is interested in doing their best to support the learning center, they are not supported as well in developing managerial competencies consistently. The programs are not necessarily the most effective with teaching math especially, so there are moments where you really feel that you are there to sell a (faulty) product rather than to teach. The entry level position may feel like a call-center job because there is a script, but there is additional challenge of engaging students in such a way that some Clinicians in my experience have been disciplined for not going "above and beyond" with their customer service experience by risking themselves legally and physically to physically enter the personal space of students, be subjected to violence on the part of some of the students, or even subjected to inappropriate touch and gestures by the students. While that may come with a Clinician job, at my learning center, the reports made when such instances did happen also would be erased in favor of keeping a student in the center when corporate may have suggested their removal. It may have been for the student's best interest, but that is difficult to determine when there is such a strong profit motive involved as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. While we appreciate your perspective, several descriptions conflict with our practices. For example, our policy is to prioritize the safety of employees and students in all situations. Instruction is paused in cases of physical misconduct and incidents are immediately escalated to the corporate management team and the Human Resources department. Regarding the Learning Ability Evaluation, a battery of standardized tests are administered and scored according to protocols set by the publishers. While the clinician role may not be a right fit for everyone, the positive effect of our approach on student learning should be evident. We are sorry to hear that this was not adequately communicated during your employment. Regardless, independent research consistently proves what we see every day—Lindamood-Bell learning center instruction is effective for students with dyslexia, autism, and other conditions. This is why we are so passionate in our belief that all individuals can learn to read, comprehend, and do math to their potential. We will continue to improve on how we help staff understand what they are doing and why. If you are willing to share more about your experience, please contact the Human Resources Department at support.hr@lindamoodbell.com or (800) 233-1819.
