Pros

Kaplan's strategies work (if properly applied) and I have been able to use them in areas of my personal and professional life unrelated to test preparation.

Cons

The pay is much lower than at other companies, especially for teachers who scored in the 99th percentile.

Great for part-time, hard for salaried employees

Pros

Kaplan had a lot of different opportunities and at different locations. There was always something different to do and to learn. Being around the students and staff was great.

Cons

The management did not respect the boundaries or personal lives of the employees. If you didn't want to sacrifice your family time it was like there was something wrong with you.

Pros

Work life balance has greatly improved under the new structure with many employees working from home. If you are the type of person who can actively seek out work relationships with peers and managers this could be a good fit for you.

Cons

Upward mobility is extremely limited as down-sizing continues. Raises are few and far between. The structure makes it hard to feel as though you are working as part of a team.
