Pros

Helping students learn how to read, comprehend, and K-5 math skills

Cons

-Two day paid bereavement -Employees at the Center Director and above are overcompensated, Clinicians, Consultants, and Learning Center Assistants are under-compensated (especially frustrating because centers charge $150-$180 per session which is either 45 or 55 minutes) and cannot always make a living wage depending on what time of year it is -Little effective development and feedback given, employees are expected to succeed regardless -Had to sign and NDA about LB's teaching methods in order to be hired (despite what the company says to the contrary, their priority is profitability not helping children) -Until recently (last year or two) employees were required to sign another agreement prohibiting them from asking for July 4th off -If/When another staff member calls out, the schedule is changed to force the rest of the team to pick up the slack which results in Consultants loosing time to write lesson plans and Clinicians losing time to prepare for other sessions, and can pull the ACD and CD from other responsibilities as well -Far less time off compared to teaching roles with school districts -Extremely high turn over -Prior management in the Jacksonville center chose not to terminate employees that were incompetent, which then became my responsibility in the ACD role -Management above the Center Director chose to demote the CD who had managed me for 6+ months to be working below me and was then someone I was required to supervise -When I asked for support during the period of time when there was no Center Director (after the person had been demoted) I was told that I was making a mountain our of a mole hill and employees in my position were expected to do everything that was being asked of me

Consider Your Pros/Cons

Pros

You'll get paid to get trained for the job, learn some new skill sets (like how to work with kids for example), and hours are relatively flexible (esp during the school year, not so much during summers). Decent benefits as well. It's a great place to start off your career (up to you how much you want to get promoted/how much you want to deal with things the higher up the chain you go). You also get to positively impact a child's future by either helping them learn how to read, comprehend what they're reading, or help them understand math better.

Cons

- Disconnect between upper management and employees who actually work with students - Pay is just high enough to keep you from leaving, but not high enough to prevent burnout - Poor communication - Busy summers - Very robotic/rigid, lack of creativity (very much "we've always done things this way and we'll continue doing things this way") - Participation trophy culture (more so how kids are treated... the focus is more on rewards rather than teaching them actual accountability) - At times, you'll be thrown into situations that you weren't trained for and expected to figure it out (with little to no support from management)

Overworked and underpaid

Pros

You really do make a difference in the lives of children and adults.

Cons

The job literally just does not pay enough. I wouldn't have agreed with this assessment years ago, but the rate of pay does not at all keep up with the cost of living. Consultants also have responsibilities based on having a "more flexible schedule" but they really don't have a more flexible schedule than a mentor.
