Pros

Very flexible, good starting pay, interesting people, students are great

Cons

The pay is low overall. The teachers teach out of a script, so there is little room for creativity. You're told that the are a teacher's customers at Kaplan. I don't agree with this view at all. The students are your students, but kaplan does not want you to think of them in that way. Kaplan is very corporate and is really just about making money.

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Rewarding work in helping others. Responsive and communicative senior management. Also, there is always constant feedback based on your performance and class reviews. This type of interaction truly helps with improving your skills and communicating better to a classroom. The Management is also eager to help employees advance their careers and participate throughout the company in different ways.

Cons

If you want an extremely structured work environment, this is not it. I enjoy the flexibility, but others may not. Also, as a part time employee there are no health benefits or vacation time befits provided, but this seems pretty standard from what I have seen and experienced.
