Pros

flexible schedule, helping kids that struggle in school, focus on individual child, get to use business and education skills in one job, work independently, The sylvan programs are great but the pressure of sales and high demands become tiring

Cons

constant fear of losing job or closing center, pressure to make the sale, high turnover in management, complicated bonus system that is unattainable, evening and weekend hours, single director means only one full time person in center-- no feel for teamwork, isolated and lonely work environment

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.
