Pros

It's a job and it pays money on time.

Cons

Lindamood-Bell doesn't care about it's programs, employee's, or clients. The program materials available in the office are mostly torn, water damaged, and dirty. Teachers are minimally trained in a variety of programs that require a robotic like script. Don't get me wrong, the programs work but execution of the programs require practice. This undermines the client by providing services that are many times under par. The cubicles they put students in are a filthy joke; torn, dusty, and falling apart. When you require your employees to uphold the famous Disney model, dress in business attire while attending to active children, and pay them sub-par wages you can expect to lose your best employees within only a few months, keep your most desperate employees, and have an office culture that is full of sad clowns. That's because at Lindamood-Bell, every one has a smile. Remember kids, this is a professional company run by professionals who adhere to the Disney model. At least Disney has security for when someone gets out of hand and provides them with access to a theme park. Lindamood-Bell pays on average about $4 less than other companies providing the same or similar services. In addition to paying less than everyone in the same market, Lindamood-Bell feels that in order to maintain quality control they must review their clinicians performance every week and in the summer multiple times a day. This is silly and does not help with quality control, it builds animosity within the office because these reviews are mostly subjective. Oh, one last thing before I forget. Employee breaks are overlooked and many employees go without breaks because of the lack of internal organization within the company. This is illegal people, breaks are required and they intimidate people into working through their breaks. I would request to take a break and many people acted as if though I were asking for a raise, this is intimidation. Management does nothing about it because who the hell is managing the place anyway? The office director is more like the sales manager and the assistant director is responsible for everything else, which is impossible to handle i an already mismanaged environment.

Pros

The kids are great and the programs are great

Cons

Low Pay Unqualified management (some don't even hold college degrees) Noisy in the summer...kids are packed in small spaces to maximize profit, and new staff is barely trained and thrown into a tough job unprepared! Parents are often lied to and grossly overcharged while their kids are taught by other kids barely out of high school

Pros

I was an office manager and the salary was OK. I started out as hourly but they finally realized that everything we were expected to do could not be done in 8 hours and there was never, ever any overtime ever.

Cons

I got tired of charging desperate parents about $2,000 a week to help their child. Some parents went really into debt. In the meetings with the management (of which I was a part) everything was about sales, sales, sales. Parent pay about $100 an hour (usually for 20 hours a week for 4 to six weeks--you do the math) and the actually clinicians that work with the children make only about $12 per hour and have two weeks training. Summer is particularly bad because they hire so many college student, train them for two weeks and then have them working with students. They have weekly parent updates but they hand picked who is going to be seen working with that child when the parents come. Everyone that tests is recommended to have something. Some sort of help no matter how high they score. The School House program is a joke. The child sits in front of a computer and parents are paying through the nose for this. Homework Matters is a joke too. Four to five kids sitting around a table doing their homework with very little interaction with a clinician. Parents would do better to put their money elsewhere. Buy the programs and do it yourself. One of the company's core values is SHOW----that tells you a lot right there. Most employees (clinicians, center directors) are very young and few have a background in education or child development fields.
