Pros

Lots of headroom for advancement if you put in the work. Good kids for the most part. Company name looks good on your resume

Cons

Typical archaic chinese business politics get in the way of EVERYTHING. Poor support for new teachers/programs. Bait and switch tactic used for every new teacher. You may end up teaching your subject, but more than likely, you will get stuck doing some of the overflow english work like essay proofreading and personal statements. You will also have to teach test prep courses in addition to your course load if you teach a science.

Pros

Kaplan allowed their sales employees to work from home with weekly accountability partners. They were clear with their job description and the results they were looking for.

Cons

Working out of a home office can be a challenge to stay pumped up and motivated when you don't have other co-workers around you.

Pros

I had some great colleagues and the London office is very nice. I liked the multicultural environment and the training that was provided when I started. Also, they sell quite a good product.

Cons

The basic salary in sales in really low and the targets are extremely high. However, I have overheard that things are changing so it may be worth to give it a try
