Pros

Students come from all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. There are those that clearly need more support, and others that simply need some mild remediation. Regardless, some kids benefitted and they were amazing to work with.

Cons

- The program charges parents five-figure amounts for a six-week summer program, and more for their private school curriculum. It does not reflect in the wages. There are no bonuses, and there's a merit wage increase a year capped at 3% (+50-60 cents hardly adjusts for inflation). - There is a lot of emotional labor in this job. None of the training covers that, and much of "behavioral management" entails scoreboards on a jamboard. - Intensity: Once you clock in, your time is allocated to documenting/digital paperwork/student management to the minute, frequently multi-tasking. You may be assigned a new student at the last minute with three minutes to familiarize yourself with the material. - The turnover rate is very high and has only gotten higher. The staff I was hired into were welcoming and such interesting people. These past few years, everyone has changed faces and I hardly get to know a fellow clinician despite being in regular contact before they leave.

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.
