Pros

If you want to try to make a difference in the lives of those who basically have no other chances, who are immensely under prepared for school, and highly unlikely to become employed, this is a good place to offer your talents, patience, and skills (if you can handle the administrative bs)

Cons

Kaplan pays lip service to student-centric ideas, but they are ALL about profits even at the expense of the students. A majority of students are saddled with a great amount of debt but are unable to make a living in their studied field because they were too unprepared to begin with initially. The Kaplan admissions reps know this but they are only interested in meeting a numbers goal.

Pros

It is a recognizable name/ brand, since they advertise so much everywhere.

Cons

Would give me projects that were impossible to complete. Didn't listen to my objections/ attempts to explain why more time was needed. Got incredibly burnt out then left.
