Employees at Kumon appreciated the good work/life balance with flexible scheduling, as well as the opportunity to work with children and cultivate positive values. The supportive environment, with kind and generous employers who provided training, was also praised. For those with a passion for teaching, Kumon allowed them to improve their teaching quality.
However, some potential challenges included managing student behaviour, particularly with rowdy children, which required patience. The compensation structure, being primarily hourly-rated with no incentives, was seen as a potential issue by some. Additionally, a few reviewers mentioned that working alone could be challenging, as they preferred a more collaborative team environment.
