Kumon NA HQ is a bizarre place

Pros

The learning program has merit as old fashioned as it is.

Cons

Some math: Clueless Japanese managers + An unintelligible Pakistani COO who lies to make himself look good and bullies people because of his social anxiety = A very strange, uncomfortable and unproductive work environment. The infighting at the top of the organization trickles down to all HQ departments. Staff at all levels spend hours of every work day complaining about mistreatment and mismanagement and trying to figure out what is expected of them. The atmosphere here is very paranoid and bleak as the desperate and dictatorial COO and CFO will do anything (lie, discriminate, destroy franchisees' lives) to stay in control.
