Pros

Coworkers were fantastic, remote work is a plus. The actual work is also enjoyable and reasonably fulfilling.

Cons

Worked for years at full-time hours, told that promotion to official full time (benefits) was likely. My contributions continually went above and beyond my job responsibilities, but while my job responsibilities grew in response to this, I was repeatedly rejected for advancement. Ultimately, I was told that Kaplan simply does not value writers, which is hilarious given the fact that it's an educational company. In addition, promotions and layoffs seemed random, haphazard, and implemented with minimal communication. My managers are extremely good, but they weren't adequately valued or respected, either. It's just frustrating to get a group of amazing people together to do a cool project and then mistreat them to the point that it ruins the experience.

Pros

The benefits are good if you can get yourself enough work for your hours to qualify for them.

Cons

Management is not transparent. I was told for months to expect a salaried offer, only to have a total reversal and be told that my department was being reduced to only essential workers within 6 months. I was led on by the promise of full-time after a particularly bad period at work where I had to clean up the work of a coworker who wasn't doing his job. The company does not actually invest in its product and has zero value for content teams. I've been told repeatedly that Kaplan, as an internal policy, does not hire content workers full-time because they view that skill as expendable.
