Obviously this is just one site and perhaps there is a lot of bias here. Especially for what they appear to be charging. 2 weeks of training, and lots of college kids that have no experience? Not acceptable. That does not appear to be the case at all. If I am sending my child to something like this I would expect every single person working with them to have extensive training and background knowledge.

However, the centers and corporation really seem to only want to make money and no longer really care about the kids. It appears that mostly everyone agrees that the program itself is solid. In looking into this in more depth, she found this and thought I might be interested in reading through the reviews of former employees since we have used LiPS on our own (no center anywhere even remotely near us, even if we had wanted to go that route but she thought I would appreciate that there is an in-home option even more after skimming the site below.)

She works full time and wanted to see if a center would work better since she felt she did not have the time to tutor.

Other family members have used it with success but did it on their own since they did not live in cities where a center existed. I was talking with a parent in another city who was considering putting her children in the Lindamood Bell center they have there. There are several posts further down in this thread that might help your decision: I am leaving my original post up, but ask that anyone reading this read all the way through, especially if you are considering going to a LMB center.

Again, the process is great and the kids are usually awesome, but there are several core issues that need to be addressed. 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! Working at Lindamood-Bell is a mostly positive experience.
