"Sylvan Learning - Bronxville operates in a smaller office style. With 2 full time employees and 8 different part time employees, my experiences working at Sylvan - Bronxville were passionate and cordial. Due to its relatively small size, I was given the opportunity to work diligently with individuals that were passionate about their responsibilities."

"Excellent company. The pay isn't necessarily competitive, but I love what I do and there is lots of scheduling flexibility. It's not too intense. Depending on your kids and your director, it can be very casual and relaxed. It's a nice place to work."

"This place has a very passive aggressive management. One day your hours will disappear without a reason. I saw managers insulting instructors in front of students, which was very embarrassing to witness. I even saw students regress. The pay is too low for this type of treatment."
