Pros

Fast-paced environment, some Midwest offices are comfortable, modern, bright Some dynamic co-workers in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale Advancement potential and opportunity to change offices Strong, lucrative parent company (in April 2010) Company offers full benefits in compensation package. Lots of training - especially for IT people - in some locations like New York City Steady paycheck!!

Cons

High turnover throughout company Inept top management that sends a mixed message. Reactive middle management that communicates poorly with direct reports. Company lacks team concept 40+ hours means 70+ and drained workers. Very poor company for anyone in admissions or marketing/advertising/editorial. Admissions people face unrealistic quotes, others cut corners, compromise, are held back by Kaplan name Poor company for anyone who takes education seriously. Negative atmosphere chips away at self-confidence

Pros

Your average job. Nice work environment, sometimes hours are flexible. Hires young. Most likely, you'll find friendly faces in most of the office.

Cons

Sometimes, too much flexibility isn't so good. Uses an online time reporting system, so some people choose to work from home more often than they should, which, at times, irks members of their team.
