Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Reviews

Pros

Extremely supportive, caring, and positive environment. Leadership really cares about their staff and students, providing ample training time for tutors and a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all. The Center Director is also extremely knowledgeable about Lindamood-Bell programs, instruction, and evaluations, and always happy to assist in any session or speak to any parent about their child. I've always felt appreciated, valued, and able to ask questions.

Cons

None that I can think of - my only con currently is the commute, which is not something the company can control.

Pros

Rewarding Work with students who have very intense learning needs

Cons

The pay is fairly low

Pros

Students come from all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. There are those that clearly need more support, and others that simply need some mild remediation. Regardless, some kids benefitted and they were amazing to work with.

Cons

- The program charges parents five-figure amounts for a six-week summer program, and more for their private school curriculum. It does not reflect in the wages. There are no bonuses, and there's a merit wage increase a year capped at 3% (+50-60 cents hardly adjusts for inflation). - There is a lot of emotional labor in this job. None of the training covers that, and much of "behavioral management" entails scoreboards on a jamboard. - Intensity: Once you clock in, your time is allocated to documenting/digital paperwork/student management to the minute, frequently multi-tasking. You may be assigned a new student at the last minute with three minutes to familiarize yourself with the material. - The turnover rate is very high and has only gotten higher. The staff I was hired into were welcoming and such interesting people. These past few years, everyone has changed faces and I hardly get to know a fellow clinician despite being in regular contact before they leave.

Pros

In-depth training Built-in worker appreciation Regimented schedule with exact instructions for everything you do Adapts with the times (in my 4 years we went from 100% analog to 100% digital.)

Cons

Even at the highest ranks, you are underpaid and overworked. I received a raise and was put in salary for a summer, but since I was working over time every single day, I was actually making less an hour. If you don’t have experience with children, it can take a lot of time to build up tactics. Your success relies on the success of coworkers, and the standards for employment are weak. Many coworkers will think they know better than decades of research and years of hands-on experience. And thus, they will not set you up for success. Unless you get a peek behind the curtain via promotion, you have no idea what’s going on big-picture.

Pros

- You can absolutely see the difference that Lindamood Bell's curriculum provides for its students. I was there for only six months, but by the end of it there was clear and measurable progress in most of my students' language abilities. The intense curriculum and hardworking staff make that possible, and it was something really nice to be a part of for a short while - The students were great, and when they weren't I felt like I could always rely on more experienced coworkers to hop into a session and provide feedback and advice - Fun location, atmosphere - Very pleasant coworkers

Cons

- It might have been the hardest job i've ever had. Every minute is put to good use according to the curriculum and the job requires a lot of multi-tasking. after my fourth or fifth hour I'd find myself mentally exhausted. Like you have to be 100% on the entire time to simultaneously engage the student, finish the prescribed curriculum and record every student mistake. - I believe the pay was minimum wage or very close to it. I've hung up Christmas lights, carved pumpkins and worked as a baker for more money than I earned at this private education center.

Pros

Good teaching experience if you want to learn more about teaching students with differential needs.

Cons

- They will not pay you for the "extra hats" that you wear as an employee with the company - They will overwork you to the point of burnout and still expect you to dedicate yourself to the company in ways you are not expected to do anywhere else - They do not take student conduct seriously - Will completely ignore your needs as a person let alone as an employee - The turnover rate is so high. 6 people have quit in the last 3 weeks alone

Pros

Flexible work schedule and very accommodating

Cons

There are times throughout the year where hours can be reduced due to the school year.

Pros

Very positive work culture for all

Cons

Some students are difficult and you may not feel equipped to handle them.

Pros

friendly staff, good work environment, cute kiddos

Cons

high workload for consultants with not much care from corporate

Pros

Training is good. They give you enough time to practice and time to practice all the material.

Cons

1) It is NOT a welcoming atmosphere. When given the office tour, they constantly said "This is XXXX office, but try not to disturb her because she is always busy." Basically, not to bother anyone in the office. 2) Some students do NOT benefit from this program. You can constantly see that they are not getting anything from it, waste entire hours without participating, but parents are never given the suggestion to take them less hours. 3) It is very fast paced and you can't go into the office more than 5 minutes before your shift starts, so there is not enough time to really get prepared, especially if you are beginning. They just don't want you to "clock in" before, but it would be better to allow clinicians to get well prepared before their students arrive.
