Senior Manager - Anonymous employee Kumon Employee Review

I have been a corporate employee with Kumon North America for *several* years. The company has changed for the worse over the past 2-3 years since the new "board of directors" was instituted with two North Americans placing themselves at the top. Fortunately, their reign has steadily eroded over the past year and the Japanese mothership has dispatched several staff from Japan and other parts of asia to wrestle control of the sinking ship. The reason it is sinking is due to poor management. The North American managers "lead" through intimidation and fear, and demonstrate no discernable leadership or people skills. The Japanese management remain behind the scenes and provide no communication or direction. As a result, the truly talented staff have resigned, and those who show autonomy are fired. Morale has never been lower and turnover has never been higher. The human resources department is scared, unqualified, and ill-equipped to do anything about this.
