Pros

Working with the students is amazing. The teachers are great too. I love Sylvan for everything but the Administrative team I worked under.

Cons

Franchise owners are sometimes worse than corporate alternatives. Toxic work environment where everyone has to watch their back and we all know we are one mistake away from getting fired. Not a single honest person lasts as they either quit, get fired for being too honest, or work there long enough to become a liar. Also massive workloads that are impossible to complete in 40 hours. Overtime is expected but you will never get compensated for it.

Pros

Sylvan offers all the training and development (even an expert) would want. There is always supports or any question you could have. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

Requires you to wear a lot of hats, at all times. Long hours, going until about 8 PM year round.
