Pros

When it first started out, much more involved with the students, helping kids with their math and really forming bonds with them.

Cons

Company shifted focus to squeeze more kids in throughout the day to maximize profits, but this lead to all of the employees being required to work on grading 100% of the time and only 1 person (the manager) got to go around helping kids. Made it an incredibly boring job. Pay was $9.00 an hour, the only raise I ever got was to $9.25. No benefits, no HR, you just report straight to your one boss and if they are terrible you're out of luck.

Pros

Work hours on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings were conducive to a university student's schedule. There were opportunities for advancement and chances to sit for the level exams that are given to the Kumon students.

Cons

Quiet during the majority of the work hours with little time to get up and walk around.
