Sylvan Learning Centers Program Manager/Center Director reviews

Make no mistake - this is a sales job. It's also primarily run by franchisers who may or may not accurately represent the end goal. This is not a non-profit and while you may be helping children, you will also (especially if serving in IN, MI, ME or FL) be cleaning facilities (including restrooms), purchasing supplies out of pocket with never realized promises of reimbursement and working 50-75 hour work weeks. Flexibility is slim to none and management is highly regulated. Also suspect that this organization actively targets the childless because this allows them to pressure employees to prioritize their workplace over any other facets of life, despite any schedule or personal commitments discussed/negotiated prior to hire. The position tends to pay well but when you figure the salary against the actual hours worked, you're making about 15-17/hr. Just beware, unless you enjoy living at work and passive aggressive management. Your coworkers will span from amazing to highly toxic here. Your leadership will be the same.

-Terribly low pay -Long hours -No room for advancement
