Pros

The employees within the company both at the headquarters location and branches are the greatest. As in any company, there are a few bad apples but fortunately at Kumon they are very few. The people who complain are trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Cons

For many positions the work hours are long and it's difficult to maintain a decent work/life balance. The time off policies are very generous but work demands make it hard to take that time off. Carryovers are capped.

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.

Pros

I feel like I'm truly doing something valuble with the hours I put in. I've seen the centers and worked with the students and seen the impact Kumon has in such young people all the way to the older ones. I've finally realized the difference between a job and a career.

Cons

I can't say there are cons because I love my career in all aspects from the people I work with, too the children Kumon influences.
