Pros

I like working for Kumon because I am passionate about working with children, and also teaching people of all ages to become better at reading and writing and mathematics.

Cons

Since this company is a franchise I would have to say if you have complaints they are specific to a private franchisee. For example the pa y may vary greatly from one center to another or the tuition rates even.

Pros

Easy work: all you have to do is sit there and mark students' worksheets and answer their questions. It is a easy starter job for high school students who excel in mathematics and english. It would also be nice if you enjoy working with students.

Cons

Work is a routine and lacks innovation. Everything is standardized, and all employees focus on doing their own job. Lack of interaction between employees at workplace, and close working relationships are not developed between manager and employees. Wages are not clearly standardized by manager based on employee's education or abilities.

Pros

It's not very difficult and you get to practice your communication skills (sort of), you work with a variety of kids

Cons

You get paid minimum wage, the work is very repetitive, low hours, they didn't give much training but then again you don't really need it
