Pros

Location, fulfillment teaching students, support from other clinicians

Cons

Low pay, despite requiring a degree. There is little to no diversity among staff, and no people of color in management or leadership positions. In fact, there were only about 2–3 people of color out of roughly 25–30 staff members. There was no adequate support or training for working with students who have behavioral or mental health needs, and staff are discouraged from seeking support when dealing with these challenges. Students face little to no disciplinary consequences and are often allowed to behave however they want. The training provided is redundant, and the mentoring offered is minimal and ineffective. Many of the managers are rude but attempt to frame it as diligence or professionalism. Managers are often dishonest. They do not value loyalty and would rather have a higher turnover than invest in current employees. Consultants are generally supportive when they are available, but they carry an extremely heavy workload. The job requires a significant amount of work within an 8-hour shift, leaving little to no downtime. Ten-minute breaks are often spent cleaning up or preparing for the next class, and the one-hour break is rarely a full hour. Burnout is inevitable in this environment.

Pros

It’s great to try to help people, but…

Cons

They’re so set on their particular philosophical style, but realistically, it cannot be one size fits all. Clinicians who work there are NOT experts; they only get two weeks of training. And the sessions are extremely tight, with back-to-back students (just five minutes between each, leaving no time to prepare for the next one and no chance for clinicians to catch a breath). Lessons take place in cramped, mostly shared spaces, so everyone tends to be over-stressed. There’s no way that what is taught there, and the environment in which it’s taught, is worth what they’re charging families. Not to mention that the staff break room is like the size of a closet, and even in that tight space, many people just aren’t very friendly and hardly acknowledge your presence.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We appreciate that our mission of helping students reach their learning potential resonated with you. At the same time, we are disappointed to read your comments regarding training, scheduling, and your experience with our instructional model. Our initial training is designed to prepare clinicians to begin working one-to-one with students using our unique approach. That training continues through ongoing mentoring and instructional guidance from experienced staff members who oversee lesson planning, monitor student progress, and support instructional quality. This team-based model is central to our instructional approach and to supporting student outcomes. We regret that the purpose and value of this model were not evident during your employment. We also recognize that learning center work can be demanding, particularly during busy periods, and we appreciate your perspective regarding scheduling and the work environment. Feedback such as yours is valuable as we continue working to improve communication and the overall staff experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
