Pros
The best reason to work at Sylvan is for the children. The System is a proven one that can help poor performing children improve their academic performance.
Cons
The leadership has only their self-preservation in mind. Jeff Cohen has overseen the most precipitous sales decline in company history. His tactics have outraged the franchisee's and only sought to benefit himself. He has wasted so much investor money on this new tablet learning concept. And while a good idea in concept, the reality is that he has placed short-sided constraints, created a one-sided business model and shifted the direction numerous times. This act of irresponsibility will be measured in the tens of millions.
