Pros

My team has the feeling of a small startup. We are encouraged to try new processes and there is an attempt at a horizontal leadership structure that de-emphasizes hierarchy.

Cons

The pay is just not competitive, and long-time Kaplan folks are so stuck in multiple-choice standardized testing that our student-facing projects lack rigor, critical thinking, and pedagogical creativity. I'm in a 'part-time' position but work full-time because of the demand. Despite the higher-than-predicted hours, there is a constant effort to streamline and reduce work and a sense of stress when anyone takes a day off. I have to take a day off when I have to actually keep to my part-time commitment so I have time for my other jobs (which I need because the pay is low and I don't have benefits).

Pros

Great mentorship, tasks were varied enough to keep things interesting, and there was opportunity to get insight into other departments.

Cons

Working there was limiting. You were surrounded by people who had been there 10-15+ years, and there was little room to climb the ladder. The business opportunities had shrunk and lots of layoffs had happened, so the restructuring was done by people who didn't seem to know and understand the nuance of the departments they were decimating and the business impact. I left at just the right time, as I've heard responsibilities are more heaped on the heads of those who stayed behind.
