Huntington Learning Centers reviews

I was consistently paid 3 to 5 days after payday. I was asked to "hold my paycheck" before depositing it. The owners do not know how to run a business. They are hardly ever there, only check in to see how much tuition money is coming in. Bill collectors called and hounded us about owner's unpaid bills. The computers and software are so outdated that it interfered with doing work properly. Even at the corporate level, I got the impression that no one knew how to effectively carry out services. Owners pressure onsite management to force to parents to sign up for long, expensive programs. Families that needed to quit HLC waited up to nine months to get their tuition reimbursed. Some of the curriculum is so out of date it uses terms like "retarded" to describe people with disabilities. Hours are extremely long and pay is low. And one book said that "Computers are becoming increasingly popular and will soon replace typewriters." I worked at one in the Midwest, but prefer not to say where.

This is a terrible organization run by franchise owners that have no experience in education and no business sense -- it is completely about the money. Pay is very little for what is expected, particularly when full time staff works from 7 am till 10 pm and expected to come in on their day off. There is no vacation days and no benefits with full time employment. If you take employment at any of the centers -- really think long and hard whether this is the right choice for you. Very high turn over because owner lies and cheats. It is quite embarrassing to get eviction notices constantly and utilities being turned off. Many services we are charging for are not being provided.
