Pros

I LOVE working at kumon, I started years ago as a first job and I still come in to help whenever the manager needs extra coverage even though I have a “real” full time job already just because I love the center. Each center is independently run so your experience as an employee really depends on the center manager but mine was phenomenal. The kids make the job so fun, working here helped me develop a lifelong passion for teaching.

Cons

Limited work hours. Experience is highly dependent on the center manager. A lot of repetitive work (like grading and record reporting) which is not for everyone. Patience when working with the little kids is a must as well.

Pros

Contributing to an educational environment, work didn't require any prior experience.

Cons

Management consistently took in more kids than the employees had capacity for, which lead to a lot of crunch for what should have been a straightforward task. The amount of work we were required to do did not scale with the $8 an hour I was receiving.
