Pros

Tutoring the younger kids keeps you busy for the whole day. Be aware that some Kumon Center has their special way of being unique and improving tutoring skills. Some kids are sweet or stubborn, but we just got to deal with them and make sure they succeed. It's very organized in a tight fit room filled with kids constantly coming in.

Cons

The place is small and they should open on more days of the week. There are a couple of kids who always comes in stubborn and doesn't want to work, and we certainly can't be mean to them so it's very limited of what we can do when the parents are somewhere else.

Pros

Rewarding work experience Opportunities for pay increases

Cons

Menial labor for intellectually astute individuals -- Employees are hired based on academic skill, then given menial tasks that require little/no intellect to complete Compensation structure rewards tedium rather than efficacy Lack of ergononic working conditions -- seems silly, but sit in a cheap chair for 5 hours at a time and you'll come to appreciate the little things
