Pros

Interacting with students daily and seeing their improvement is rewarding; the job itself is rigorous but worthwhile to experience the journey with these kids as they discover a love of reading—that’s why I joined the company in the first place, 4 years ago. I care about these kids and our mission to foster their potential and what I hope will become a lifelong love of reading.

Cons

The handling of the recent pay cut by corporate was abysmal. Apparently an email was sent the week before the cut went into effect—and the timing here was sneaky and underhanded as it was, but I personally never even received this email and instead found out through a friend who doesn’t even work at the same location I do. There was no communication between upper management and their clinicians, and even now a week later no one in upper management has breathed a word of it, as if they’re hoping if they don’t say anything the backlash will quietly go away on its own. Clinicians and consultants, the people who work rigorously day in and out for the sake of students they love, and earn a salary that didn’t appropriately compensate the amount of work we do to begin with, deserve better than to be thrown under the bus after the countless hours we have spent laboring to make the changes in our students’ lives that the company so loves to laud to the public. There are a myriad other ways to make up for this year’s low earnings and, as if they know what they’re doing is wrong, the handling of the cuts was backhanded and deceitful. Scheduling is also a mess, constantly changing and impossible to read for clinicians who have to quickly make changes and adjust throughout the day because of a poorly designed schedule layout, instead of keeping track of and prepping for our students, which is what we really need the time for (and what our actual jobs are?!). In the past four months or so the schedule layout has changed several times and without any warning, meaning employees have to constantly make allowances for extra time spent adjusting to different and poorly designed schedules instead of actually doing our jobs.

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.
