Pros
Good solid program. Ever since I started with Kumon, I have felt that I was able to give back to the community through hard work and dedication to learning the program. The individual branch teams are a family type atmosphere.
Cons
Wow, where to start. This place is considered a "money trap" where it looks good on the outside, but once you get in, you are sorry you did. It has gotten so bad at Kumon that the CFO has offered an IPAD Competition to see who can post the most positive review of the company. So you if you see an influx of recent positive reviews, they are, in essence, paid to write them. Management is at odds with each other. If they would take a minute to stop pacifying their own egos and objectives, they may see that they actually have hard working people around the company. The COO and new leadership from Japan cant even agree on how to implement the product. There hasnt been a feud like this since the Hatfield and McCoys, and it trickles down the chain to the ground level. Good people are leaving left and right because of how they have been treated. The COO does not have a clue on how to relate to people and makes up facts as he goes. Word of advice is if he quotes statistics to you, ask him for hard facts, because more often than not, they are fabricated to either make himself look good, or to try to scare people into submission or to accomplish his work.
