Pros

I loved working with the kids! I liked the atmosphere, generally speaking. I liked my co-workers and the directors of education. I loved seeing the improvement of those student's that responded well to the Sylvan style of instruction. Lastly, I appreciated the part-time schedule.

Cons

The owner of this location is very unpredictable and can make very impulsive decisions. She makes many of her decisions based on her bottom line and not what is best for each student's instruction. I was finding that she valued students whose parents could pay ongoing for months and months, and who showed little improvement with the type of instruction offered at Sylvan. She does not pay her teachers enough for their expertise, and I did not feel that she valued our educational input concerning our students.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
