Pros

Working with an educationally sound program in a very positive environment. Helping change children's lives by giving them the skills and confidence the need in order to be more successful in school and beyond.

Cons

Employment conditions (wages, benefits, job description etc) will vary due to the franchise system. One of the keys to the success of the Sylvan program is the teaching staff, however, wages, benefits and overall work conditions are very retail based. They want university educated & experienced teachers, but at retail mall store wages & benefits.

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.
