Pros

They have good benefits and compensation. Many holidays. When you added all up almost like a month off. People working at the main office are good and professional, but we work like a dog most of the time.

Cons

The training program for new staff needs more work. IT doesn't fit the need at all. The training program does not train people how to deal with average student. They only talk about excellent students. Whoever came up with this idea is quite stupid. They asked the staff to study student's background, such as their parents work. This is not practical. Simply because parents cannot be changed. Plus the majority is the mediocre students, but they have no idea how to help them. So they don't talk about it.

Pros

Work hours on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings were conducive to a university student's schedule. There were opportunities for advancement and chances to sit for the level exams that are given to the Kumon students.

Cons

Quiet during the majority of the work hours with little time to get up and walk around.
