Pros

As a current employee I have seen the company go through tremendous growth and change for the better. Kumon North America values its employees, and consistently seeks the feedback of its employees to improve the employee experience. I have worked here for over 10 years in various positions and with each new opportunity I have grown to have a deeper appreciation for what the company aims to accomplish. If you are serious about making an impact in the lives of children and working in partnership with educators who have the same goal then this is the company for you. Great benefits! Contiuous training! Professional Development allowance each year!

Cons

The downsides of working for any company is up to each individual and their personal situation. In order to be effective, one has to be okay with travel. This is only a con if a high % of travel is an issue.

Pros

There is a feeling of accomplishment when you see the franchisees grow and run a successful educational program that you helped them start. Being involved and hands on with activities that impact the growth of the business. The people that work here are team players and willing to assist you in getting your job done. Recently we have been doing a lot of field staff training to assist us in developing our consulting skills with franchisees. Even the budget for outside training was recently tripled to allow us to purse professional development via college courses, seminars, and industry workshops. Good health benefits and plenty of personal leave time along with holidays. In fact they just add 3 additional personal leave days to all full time staff starting in 2013. HR Dept is always looking at ways to improve upon our benefits from healthcare, 401k plan, reimbursements and other areas. They have a great staff of people there to help you and resolve issues that you may have with insurance providers and doctor's offices.

Cons

Upper management can be slow on making decisions and implementing necessary changes.
