Pros

Tutoring the younger kids keeps you busy for the whole day. Be aware that some Kumon Center has their special way of being unique and improving tutoring skills. Some kids are sweet or stubborn, but we just got to deal with them and make sure they succeed. It's very organized in a tight fit room filled with kids constantly coming in.

Cons

The place is small and they should open on more days of the week. There are a couple of kids who always comes in stubborn and doesn't want to work, and we certainly can't be mean to them so it's very limited of what we can do when the parents are somewhere else.

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.
