Kaplan Early Learning reviews

Pay is not enough and no room for growth

During the initial lockdown in 2020, our pay was cut by 25%. Hourly workers worked four days a week, while salaried workers still had to show up five days a week but for 25% less. During this time, Kaplan was beginning to make incredible amounts of money as they sold crucial PPE supplies that others couldn't get to schools, daycares, regular consumers, etc. Despite making a windfall profit (and upholding its salary cuts for over a month while continuing to profit), Kaplan was granted a PPP Loan of $3,027, 315 (public information available on ProPublica) and ended up getting approximately $34k more back than they borrowed when their loan was forgiven in 2021. Employees were paid a measly amount equivalent to one full paycheck to make up for the "lost" pay during the pay cuts and furloughs. This is just a small glimpse into how Kaplan's once admirable family values as a company doesn't extend to the employees they love to call family.
