What don't you like about working at Kumon?

"The management is disingenuous. It's like working in a prison. Management is constantly spying on staff. If you speak up, you are fired. Japanese hold mist of the positions. President, EVP, COO, are all Japanese too. Non-Japanese management are just stooges. CFO/Head of HR being the ring leader of the stooges. CFO begs staff to post fake reviews on Glassdoor. Most Glassdoor positive reviews are FAKE. Constant reorganizations take place here. Management hates the franchisees and vice versa. Franchisees abuse staff and management doesn't have your back. President meets with franchisees and throws staff under the bus. CFO and the HR department keep busy writing up employees whom the notorious EVP and President doesn't like. Most of the senior management has no clue what they are doing and lack any vision. No one knows what's going on most of the time. Millions are spent on entertainment events that are wasteful."
