Low pay, owner has no education background - Lead Teacher Sylvan Learning Centers Employee Review

Pros

I enjoyed working with the students

Cons

My salary wasn’t much more than minimum wage with promises it would go up as well as promotions. Never happened. Owner/director has no education background and I felt uncomfortable as she spoke to parents as an expert. I felt uncomfortable that owner/director could not do any of the teaching. This program is too expensive for a “canned” program. The owner/director was only looking at making money by trying to charge people the most while paying me the least and expecting me to work off the clock. She hired 2 teachers and we both quit within 3 months.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
