Pros

Seeing the students progress is rewarding.

Cons

They work clinicians like slaves. The bottom level employees are really good people–people willing to work grueling hours and low pay just to help kids– and the upper level management COMPLETELY profits off of their good nature. It is a demoralizing and soul-crushing place to work. The turnover is insane. Over my years here, I got very used to training new employees, knowing they would likely quit (if they were smart) within a few weeks of starting. So many rich and affluent parents are on the brink of trying to sue this place, and if they somehow knew they all agreed with each other, LMB would be in shambles. They claim to be "evidence-based", hoping to fool parents into paying more. The research is much more sparse then they let on. If you look at the studies done on LMB programs, the way the studies are conducted is so different from the way the instruction is implemented in-center that the research may as well be irrelevant. It is a nasty, awful, predatory place that takes advantage of the good nature of its hardest working employees. The HR department is horrible. All they do is throw one of their policies in your face and tell you to read it. It seems like HR has not yet realized that saying something in the company policies does not magically shape the company culture. The company policies are merely there as a surface-level safety precaution (incase they get in trouble for anything) and clearly aren't meant to improve the quality of work at LMB. Lastly, it seems like the whole company fails to realize that better working conditions = better work!! THAT is ultimately what makes me hate this place. Never work here. It will take away years of your life and then spit you out.

Pros

The people they hire can be smart: interesting conversations in the break room sometimes.

Cons

For profit tutoring company that is essentially a glorified phonics and reading comprehension cram school for children whose parents can afford the 140 dollar an hour tuition. They have all these studies they love to tout that proves its efficacy, but it's essential thus: if you take a pretest designed to test what they want to test and you study for four hours a day for six weeks somewhat assiduously, you will improve on said tests-doesn't matter if is phonics, comp, or underwater basket weaving. As for the techniques they are annoying and soul crushing for any poor student to do four hours straight. Air writing 4 syllable nonsense words over and over is an example of pointless cruelty. A question that is seldom asked, but far more essential after any instruction is: "has the child increased his or her love of learning?", but alas we live in an age where education is test scores and a means to an end. I fear that the student will associate all future school and learning with a tedious and joyless experience that is offered to them here. They also pay their clinicians close to min wage, make them sign a contract forbidding them to tutor anywhere else, and will make you feel that you are quite expendable. Just awful.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We take comments like yours into consideration when we review training and communication materials. All instruction staff should understand the goal of individualized instruction and have a good grasp of the purpose of the program steps and intensive intervention. We appreciate your candor in providing your perspective about the value of our instruction. Neurological and behavioral research by parties unrelated to Lindamood-Bell as well as controlled studies by a variety of university research programs are the validation of Lindamood-Bell's student instruction. While the clinician role may not be a right fit for everyone, the positive effect of our approach on student lives should be evident. We believe the ability to learn is an essential precursor to developing a love of learning. We will continue to improve on how well we help staff understand what they are doing and why. Thank you again for your review.

Pros

Fantastic immediate supervisors and supportive, friendly coworkers. The work can be very rewarding as you witness kids' progress first-hand and get to work with them one-on-one. The company invests a lot of time in training and professional development, and there are opportunities for advancement.

Cons

There is the sense that the overarching company micro-manages individual sites to their detriment, and that it is more interested in making money than in the well-being of its students or workers. The schedule frequently changes unexpectedly and inconsistently, and you are asked to do a lot with a little time. More work tends to be pushed on those who can complete it well than those who can't, so it often feels as if you are doing more (or harder) work than someone else who is being paid he same wage. Health insurance options are provided for full-time workers, but the options are terrible: high deductibles, steep monthly premiums, and zero coverage until the deductible is met.
