      I love the Kids and My Co-Workers, or I'd be job searching...

      Pros

      The kids themselves are *usually* awesome. When the right program is matched to the right kid for the right amount of time the results can be mind-blowing and life affirming for all involved. I also have some pretty amazing co-workers that make it all so much better!

      Cons

      The company is for profit and driven by sales. It is being run by management that is very far removed from the day to day on the ground interactions that keep it up and running and often make decisions that make no sense but that we are required to follow without showing our dissent. For example, we became a private school about a week before we started accepting students to be a part of it and the “expectation” was that we would take tens of thousands of dollars from these families and literally just “make it up as we went along” ... without credentialed teachers on staff mind you. A year and a half later they realized how badly they screwed up and there were pay cuts and Center closures to keep the business afloat. Our pay was restored but we have yet to have any actual training in how to run a k-12 school where families are paying between $25-$35k per academic school year and it’s still a huge mess. Not to mention that we have kids with some severe diagnosis and with needs that would be better met with a more comprehensive team of professionals or with a different goal altogether. I mean, if your kid has a permanent and debilitating disability (physically and intellectually) and cannot even follow simple language, is paying for private school lessons really the best use of resources??? We don’t partner with an ABA company but I’ve thought time and again that we really should because some of these kids won’t become functional citizens because they aren’t being treated for their social and developmental weaknesses and that’s just as critical to success as an education. Our compensation scale is also laughable. Going from one position to another can be an enormous jump in responsibility and stress for little to NO increase, yup...lots of things are considered “add on” poisons with no additional pay. Or there may only be a dollar difference between your old carefree existence and your new stress fueled one...take on with caution!

      Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. Your input is extremely important to us. We value and consider all feedback, and will continue to look for ways to improve our workplace but we also want to address your specific comments about instructional quality. Year after year, students make consistent gains as a result of our research-validated instruction. So we are concerned to hear about some of your experiences. Our instruction has been proven effective for students with previous diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorder. We work with our students’ other team members (e.g. psychologists, pediatricians) to provide a safe, effective learning environment. In 2016 we established Lindamood-Bell Academy, a K-12 private school where students can progress in individualized accredited curriculum while working on foundational skills if needed. Every student’s curriculum is supervised by a certified teacher. We will take your comments into consideration as we seek to improve our communication about student outcomes, Academy, and any new initiatives. We absolutely want our entire staff to feel good about what they are doing and why. Thank you again for your review.

      Pros

      -Learn new skills and new programs. -The programs offered can be very helpful for students. -Clinicians do an awesome job at being creative and interactive with students

      Cons

      -Poor organization as a whole -Upper management lacks support for workers-doesn't receive feedback from them or implement changes that would make things better for everyone. -Focus is often on making sales, getting students and not on their own staff. -No real organization with how the company is ran, creating a lot of chaotic and high stress situations. -Often workers feel overwhelmed and the need to work overtime, breaks don't happen and there is no over-site with this.

      Great summer/short term job, but I wouldn't make it a career

      Pros

      - Effective Programs (I see students improve within weeks, unless they are "challenge students" (below the first or second percentile in ability, but it makes sense they need a lot longer to see results) - Most kids are fun to work with or are at least willing to learn with a little motivation (about 5% are really difficult) - Paid Training - Hour-long lunch - Great coworkers! I have met so many bright, dedicated, inspiring people here - 401(k) offered after six months of service (full and part-time), decent health insurance for full-time employees

      Cons

      - extremely expensive, parents are charged around $120/hour (!) - what the kids are learning is very helpful and useful but clearly not worth THAT much - low pay, especially given what they charge and all the skills needed to be a good clinician or consultant - rare or nonexistent raises, which can then be taken away if/when pay is cut - highly detached upper management that cares only about profit, not about the well-being of its employees. - hard to advance. Favoritism/nepotism in who gets promoted - terrible fiscal management, the company is frequently in a preventable "crisis" despite being in business for 30 years. You'd think they'd know how to manage the company's finances by now. - culture of "constant positivity" feels fake/artificial - schedule only comes out the Friday before a given week, though I can see how this is hard to fix given how much schedules are constantly changing (people calling in sick, last-minute requests for OLI from different centers, etc.)
