Pros

Great coworkers, excellent leadership team, very passionate staff overall, good product. You can really make a difference as a Sylvan instructor, and I think our part-time instructors had a better experience with Sylvan than those of us in leadership positions

Cons

Owner is more concerned with the bottom dollar than good customer service. Also had terrible management skills. We lost half the leadership team in less than 12 months
