Pros

Kumon provides the benefits people need to allow them to enjoy life. With multiple personal days we can take the time to enjoy our families and friends. Benefits for medical, dental life insurance and 401K are all included and provide security to the employees.

Cons

Ensuring everyone moving in the same direction with the same aspiration is difficult and takes time.

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.
