Pros

It's nice to wake up every day knowing that your hard work will make a difference! Rather the student is a 1st grader learning how to read or an adult trying to pass the GED, Sylvan produces results and delivers on educational investments! I have never worked with an expert group of teachers and managers like I have at Sylvan. I have grown leaps and bounds in the past three years and gained invaluable experience in customer service, management and sales. Training and development opportunities are at your finger tips every step of the way. Sylvan has extensive web-based and in-person trainings designed to develop and support staff; Sylvan truly cares about growing their employees! I feel we have a team atmosphere and always plenty of support to help centers, students, and families achieve excellent academic growth and customer service. I love working at Sylvan and can see myself here for many years to come.

Cons

It is hard work. This is a position for a highly motivated and hard working individuals! If you are not willing to put in the time and effort then you will not be happy working with Sylvan. It is a high paced working environment where you have to think on your feet and be flexible at all times.

Pros

Sylvan has provided me the opportunity of really growing professionally and continuing to do what I love, which is helping students. I will be celebrating my 15-year anniversary with the company March of 2013 and I have truly enjoyed almost every single minute of it!

Cons

I wish we could help every single student. Sylvan can help all students achieve their maximum potential but sometimes there are other factors that get in the way-financial, schedule, location, etc...
