Pros

Working with children in small groups is rewarding; compared to classroom teaching. As long as you do this just for fun or experience working in a highly structured teaching environment, it is fine. The "pay" is ridiculous.

Cons

Once you figure out that working at Sylvan is all about making your owner money, off your hard work and expensive teaching credential, the fun pretty much goes out of it.

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.
