Pros

The employees within the company both at the headquarters location and branches are the greatest. As in any company, there are a few bad apples but fortunately at Kumon they are very few. The people who complain are trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Cons

For many positions the work hours are long and it's difficult to maintain a decent work/life balance. The time off policies are very generous but work demands make it hard to take that time off. Carryovers are capped.

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.
