      Part-time is Great. Never Work Full Time for Them....

      Pros

      The people are really nice and tend to be smart. The teachers are the best part, everyone is so friendly!

      Cons

      The management tends to have their heads up their asses. Never work full time for Kaplan because they will take utmost advantage of you without giving any thanks. And superior positions are given to those with the least experience sometimes.

      opportunities for learning, but not for advancement

      Pros

      At Kaplan you'll work with many intelligent people who are passionate about what they do. There are lots of opportunities for ambitious people to learn and be commended for good work, and it's a great place for people who are interested in breaking into the education industry. Health, dental, and vacation benefits are very good. Three weeks of vacation are offered to most entry-level employees. Yearly reviews are given a lot of attention and good work will be appropriately noted. Casual dress policy is observed to a pretty high level, so more junior employees don't have to feel uncomfortable for wearing jeans.

      Cons

      Although you'll be praised for you work, you won't be compensated for it. Although you can learn a lot from your co-workers, Kaplan isn't enthusiastic to fund out-of-office education relevant to your career, and things you learn don't necessarily translate into opportunities for advancement and career growth. Promotions are slow-coming (generally only awarded after many years) and the pay is very low. Expectations are generally very high and many employees at all levels are expected to work long hours with no comp time, overtime, or compensation of any sort, although they will generally be thanked verbally and with company celebrations.

      Terrible company with terrible management

      Pros

      Benefits, and most of the lower level employees are some of the best people to work with. Truly I have nothing to say about anyone who doesn't work in management.

      Cons

      This is an 85 year old company with terrible management, archaic branding, and poor salary ranges. I was harassed by an employee on my first week here and I was racially discriminated against in my last week before I was laid off. There is no chance for career advancement here.
