Pros

Really in depth training from the best educators and endless training videos on how to actually do your job.

Cons

Since it’s a franchise, unfortunately the franchisees cut corners and do not pay well for how much you have to work and basically develop your own pipeline. It was very very heavily sales based and at the end of the day it’s all about the revenue. I really do believe in the Sylvan program, but for how much they charge customers does not reflect in a decent salary just to make a basic living.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
