Pros

The best reason to work at Sylvan is for the children. The System is a proven one that can help poor performing children improve their academic performance.

Cons

The leadership has only their self-preservation in mind. Jeff Cohen has overseen the most precipitous sales decline in company history. His tactics have outraged the franchisee's and only sought to benefit himself. He has wasted so much investor money on this new tablet learning concept. And while a good idea in concept, the reality is that he has placed short-sided constraints, created a one-sided business model and shifted the direction numerous times. This act of irresponsibility will be measured in the tens of millions.

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.
