Pros

Can’t think of any... but I gotta write at least 20words. I guess free coffee and milk are the only pros not unlimited though if you get to drink milk once a week there you are lucky

Cons

Insulting pay, zero transparency, no management whatsoever, people who should’ve been fired a long time ago are still working, never felt respected at this company.

Pros

Working from home is wonderful. Most people I work with are really nice and are working for Kaplan because they genuinely want to help people.

Cons

Wow, where do I start. First of all, as I mentioned working from home is nice but it is now used as a crutch for Kaplan to rationalize why wages and raises are painfully low. It's a sad state of affairs in the graduate division as there have been numerous workforce cutbacks over the last couple of years and lean is not a strong enough word for how it is being run. Morale is miserable and it's difficult to trust Kaplan because of the lack of transparency. Instead of focusing on getting students to take our classes, upper management is more worried about cutting costs. Favoritism runs rampant the further up the chain you get and a select few individuals at the top just keep circulating the coveted roles. A majority of "promotions" are lateral and they always find a way to make sure they don't have to pay you much more in terms of salary. It is all so unfortunate because years ago this was an amazing company to have a career with and had plenty of opportunities for upward movement.

Pros

the people, the industry, flexibility to work from home for many employees across the country and world.

Cons

lack of discipline in planning and executing projects and initiatives. micro-managing of long-tenured employees is contrary to a productive environment, lack of leadership, direction, and career development from specific parties
