Tons of potential destroyed by greed

Pros

1) The programs can do wonderful things for most students. 2) Many of the employees are wonderful people. 3) I loved working for this company until the recent changes.

Cons

1) Over the last several years the company became far more concerned with money than education. 2) I left because of a hostile work environment (not involving me) that was ignored by HR. I couldn't stand to remain in a company that tolerated the toxic environment that had developed. 3) It is an open joke among employees that you must be a member of Nanci Bell's family to rise to a certain level in the company. 4) It became increasingly difficult to find quality people to hire for the busy summer months. As a result, instruction quality suffered. 5) Corporate does a terrible job of finalizing projects before pushing them out to centers. This leads to staff constantly being given conflicting information. 6) It is well known in the company that many corporate employees look down on employees below a certain level. "I don't speak to employees below a certain level." was a quote I overheard while traveling to a center with higher level employees.

Pros

Initially it was fun and there was good training. New employees are mentored in the instruction they use.

Cons

Very erratic schedule and you are told you cannot have a day off. Even Saturdays. For such a low wage this is not worth it. Also there is favoritism among friends of management in the company and those that are related. You are told you will not be paid for any extra time you work if it's not on the schedule, which constantly changes. You will also be told you can't make yourself a coffee on your 5 minute break. The place is micromanaged and you are treated like a pion in this position, even if you are more qualified for the job than those who are considered consultants. There is very little room for growth so this is really the nay a short term job for most people. And $15 an hour for doing the work and charging the client $125 an hour, don't expect to stay here long.

Pros

Most of the coworkers are kind.

Cons

Are you looking for a company that invests in its employees? This isn't it. LMB's benefits are atrocious. They currently do not match employee's retirement due to poor financial decisions made on their part. Their "merit pay" is the cost of living increase. If you request full-time, do not expect to be working full-time. If hours are "slow" you'll be working part-time. LMB considers themselves a school when it's convenient, and a business when it's not. Leadership encourages professional development, yet there is no compensation for taking on new responsibilities until you've become a mentor. Do not expect to make it to the level of mentor, consultant, ACD, etc. unless you are a yes-man who is content with looking the other way and has found a way into leadership's clique. That job posting stating you would help kids read? True. Expect to also be their teacher during the school year, even though that was not in the job description. Expect to take on more titles and work-load without being compensated. Leadership is built by power-hungry people. LMB doesn't take the type of person into account when promoting them to a managerial position. Some higher-ups promote talking poorly about other clinicians during pacing meetings, and therefore other leadership follows. If you ask the important questions, you will be pushed back into your "place". Expectations are diverse amongst all employees. Expectations are based on the friendships you've made with instructional leadership. LMB does not train its employees on behavior. If you do not have an educational background, it may be difficult to help deescalate and redirect students. While the students are lovable in so many ways, your experience with behavior will be trial by fire. Some consultants are quick to receive feedback and will implement ideas given by clinicians, while others will not, (or want every good idea to come from them). LMB is money-hungry. Every single decision is based on money, not the student's best interest. If the thought of money-hungry businesses disguised as schools upsets you, do not work here. If you love working with kids, I encourage you to do so. Please don't let LMB poison that love. Find work somewhere else.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. Several descriptions conflict with Lindamood-Bell company policies and protocols. For example, Lindamood-Bell currently offers a 401K match—it was reinstated in May of 2023. Regarding student behavior, we provide ongoing training on how to help students stay on task, and our instruction department provides additional support for students who need an individualized plan for engaging in sessions. While our organization may not have been a right fit, we regret that our core philosophy was unclear during your employment. We strive to provide a positive work environment, treating all individuals respectfully, offering sensitivity, and valuing each other. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
