Pros

When there are no other jobs around, it's a good place to work

Cons

Unintelligent people using business speak to mask their lack of knowledge. Macho culture 'you must be here til 8pm'. What about judging people on output? Snake in the grass got promotion

Pros

If you want to try to make a difference in the lives of those who basically have no other chances, who are immensely under prepared for school, and highly unlikely to become employed, this is a good place to offer your talents, patience, and skills (if you can handle the administrative bs)

Cons

Kaplan pays lip service to student-centric ideas, but they are ALL about profits even at the expense of the students. A majority of students are saddled with a great amount of debt but are unable to make a living in their studied field because they were too unprepared to begin with initially. The Kaplan admissions reps know this but they are only interested in meeting a numbers goal.

Pros

It is a recognizable name/ brand, since they advertise so much everywhere.

Cons

Would give me projects that were impossible to complete. Didn't listen to my objections/ attempts to explain why more time was needed. Got incredibly burnt out then left.
