Pros
I worked for the company for 10 years in the franchise community and the corporate office. There were plenty of opportunities for me to move up or into other departments until the last 2 years. I traveled most of the time in the last 4 years and was able to keep all of my reward points....definitely a perk. I loved the people I worked with and loved that the end result was helping kids be better students and better citizens. I really grew as an individual professionally and personally. I consider myself a strong business person and I owe it to Sylvan.
Cons
The culture changed and I felt that the executive management was too far removed from life in a center. At one point there were zero women in those positions and zero that had ever worked in a center. Sometimes I felt I was taken advantage of by being single and much more flexible than most other employees. I worked on so many other projects, I felt at times I was working 2 full time jobs for the same amount of money.
