Pros

Sylvan is a recognizable brand. If you're passionate about education and teaching, the children you work with are the only positive outcome of your day.

Cons

Terribly inadequate training, no incentives, no work/life balance. Franchise owned center management seems to not be regulated by corporate at all. The franchise I work for invests little or nothing into their employees in the way of training. Employees are ill-equipped to meet expectations. High employee turn over.

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.
