Pros

It was fun to be on campus, working with students, helping them understand the process of getting into grad school,, the vast amount of people I could work with, job fairs, events, etc.

Cons

Very corporate, global company, not a ton of room for growth which is the exact reason that I decided to leave.

Pros

You get a lot of responsibility from the beginning. Also, if you are willing to live with the low pay for a few years, Kaplan is good about offering promotions if you are willing to relocate. If you put in some time, you can build your resume.

Cons

As stated in the pros section, the pay is low and the hours are long. Also, the products are very expensive and can be challenging to sell.
