Bad execution, horrible ethics - Center Director Sylvan Learning Centers Employee Review

Pros

Good experience, pay and title for someone trying to break into the education field. Always great to guide the few motivated teachers and try to help kids

Cons

Very little opportunities outside of the center level management. Extremely sales based, to the point of being unethical and signing up families to programs that you are confident that will NOT work just to hit a budget/quota. Way too political, senior district management was terrible, and an out of touch corporate office.

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.
