Terrible pay and weird hours (plus holidays required) made the whole gig not worth it. Not only was instruction financially inaccessible for most students, but the tuition was not relative to what the staff received in terms of compensation. Another con was simply how much families are charged. Management- especially at the corporate level- was completely out of touch. Some of my coworkers were great but a good number of the summer seasonal employees are not adequately trained and the mentoring process could use some refinement. I began as a clinician and ended up as a consultant, working for seasonal learning centers. However, that's about where the positives end. Watching kids grow as students was really encouraging every day. The process works, and that is super exciting to see. Listen to your staff! Your staff are the ones selling your product day in and day out and if they aren’t happy, how can you expect your students and families to be? Hundreds of reviews say the same things, yet corporate makes no change, and even deactivated the employee suggestion form. The work done at Lindamood-Bell is amazing but there is a common trend of unhappy staff. Sales incentive bonuses are nearly impossible to achieve, and staff rarely get recognized with anything else aside from a pat on the head and a “good job, you are valued.” There isn’t much action to back up the words, and center managers aren’t able to independently make decisions regarding things like raises and bonuses for their staff, so many are left wanting more. While sales pressure should be expected, culture has been lacking company-wide since the pandemic. That being said, if you have an unhappy director, the entire center suffers. Almost everybody in a management role began at Lindamood-Bell as an instructor, so many of them don’t have experience with sales and think expectations are unrealistic when they are not. Learning Center managers have a lot of pressure placed on them to sell instruction and bring in revenue (which, is common for any business that sells something). However, there is definitely a trickle down effect of negativity. You get to show up at work every day knowing you are changing the lives of students and their families and seeing the self esteem and confidence grow in your students is so inspiring!

I’m deeply disappointed with the operations of LMB’s academy and I would not recommend them as a compensatory education option - not because of the program but because of their highly prejudicial policies that impair student’s academic growth.īBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.īBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. This has been a struggle all year and the constant gaps in my sons education due to refusing to have a more relaxed policy for families on a reimbursement model with settlement agreements has actually caused my sons achievement score to regress. They further hit me with a $150 late fee which even when tuition WAS paid, they still refused to render education services entirely. Because of delay in the district to reimburse, LMB’s strict and inequitable policy on late payments, even if not at the family’s fault, will refuse providing education services I entirely to your child. Unfortunately they have horrible flexibility with families that are on settlement agreements counting on school districts to reimburse families and fund the next months tuition as most families do not have $6k readily available to pay monthly. I was sold how LMB could close achievement gaps in his comprehension. He has an average IQ but has sever deficits in comprehension. LMB Academy is incredibly costly and offered a lot of promise to my son with Autism.
