Pros

- About 90% of your fellow teachers are really great and easy to work with. - About 90% of the students are good kids who are not too difficult - If you want to advance within the company, you can do so very quickly.

Cons

- Sexual harassment both by fellow teachers and students towards employees is excused and essentially allowed. I experienced this at my location and also heard about MANY instances from employees at other locations. - Students can basically treat teachers however they want because their parents are paying an exorbitant amount of money for them to be there. See above. - Nanci Bell is averse to change in any way, even positive change. Most of the materials are from the 80's and extremely outdated. She also seems to not care at all about her employees' well-being, putting money before everything else. - LMB charges INSANE amounts per hour for their services. I personally believe the Seeing Stars program changes lives, and charging the amount they do gatekeeps this education from LOTS of kids who really need it. Morally, I cannot agree with this. - For the crazy amount they charge their clients, Clinicians and other employees don't see much of it. We dealt with a LOT of students who, while good kids, had SEVERE behavior issues, and most of us had no training at all in this regard. We were NOT paid adequately for all the complex issues we were asked to deal with on a daily basis. - I was only part-time for disability reasons, and even then I could barely function outside of work because I was SO exhausted. You barely have a break in your day except for your 1hr lunch, which I found was cut short a lot due to students arriving early and needing adult supervision. - The reason you can advance so quickly within the company is that the turnover rate is very high, and for good reason. See the above cons.

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.
