Pros

Most Sylvans are franchised so experiences will vary tremendously. However, after working with 3 different franchisees as well as corporate over 12 years, I can still say it is satisfying work. You meet with families and are able to provide a great product with lasting results.

Cons

Varies by owners. Pay for CDs is usually not competitive with mgmt jobs; some franchisees don't have a structured compensation plan in place.

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.
