Pros

Sylvan has a great learning program.

Cons

This particular group of franchises is run by manipulative, passive aggressive, non supportive, upper management. The focus is on sales not on helping families. Employees are not valued they are overworked and pushed into selling expensive packages that families cannot afford and do not necessarily need. The turnover for center management is constant because of the stress and pressure put on them. Not for happy families and educated children, but for sales sales sales.

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.
