Good work experience

Pros

Working with the kids is fun. The program really works.

Cons

The pay is low. As an experienced and credentialed teacher, I still only made $15/hour and it was cut to $13.50/hour when the economy was doing poorly. Parents pay $2,000 a week to send their kids there so as a teacher you only get a tiny amount of what is being paid.

Glad to be gone

Pros

A chance to help individuals navigate obstacles and challenges to learning and life. Lots of client interaction and the chance to really see a change happening because of your's and your colleague's efforts.

Cons

Poor managers. Unprofessional managers run rampant in the company and remain unchecked if they can keep numbers at a reasonable level or blame someone else for why they're not. Disingenuous and unpredictable, they can make working at this company a very sad experience. Purportedly altruistic and focused on bringing the magic of learning to those who need it, this is a very for-profit company that charges thousands of dollars a week (and pays its employees very little) and constantly keeps their employees in fear of budget-balancing pay cuts while making their instruction available to only the most wealthy and people who have the ability to sue school districts for funds.

Felt Like Junior High At Times

Pros

The programs are amazing and usually work well. It's very satisfying personally and professionally watching a kid who struggles academically to gain knowledge, skills, and self-confidence in such a short amount of time as several weeks. The training is top-notch and they try to make it fun, even though the 2-week training can be tedious at times. It's great that LBLP bases their programs in research and ongoing research, like the recent MRI study with dyslexic adults and how LBLP intervention affects their brains. The 8-5 hours are great for a post-college summer job with no weekends required. If you're interested in becoming a teacher, speech therapist, or a reading specialist, the training and experience is invaluable and generally enjoyable work.

Cons

Some of the senior staff, Consultants, and the other Clinicians were cliquish and you got the feeling that they were part of the LBLP "good ol' girls" club. You were either "in" or you weren't. Several of the summer Clinicians experienced this exclusive behavior, which was odd and downright laughable at times because it felt like being back in junior high. The pay isn't that great considering how expensive the programs are (parents easily fork over $100+/hour). Don't expect regular hours for steady income and they often change the schedule on you, reducing or increasing your hours the same day, without telling you...never mind if you have a family to feed or had something scheduled. Sometimes you work as few as 4 hours a week and others almost 40. The constant evaluations during sessions are, frankly, annoying and intrusive. I understand that it's a research-based program, but there's too many people looking over your shoulder.
