      It's good to work here if you like working with kids.

      Pros

      It's good to work here if you like working with kids. The hourly pay isn't awful at $12/hr, but private tutoring (not at Kaplan) can easily net $40+.

      Cons

      The downsides is really bad management, they don't know anything about business and they barely keep a plug and play business model profitable. The management can also be confusing, I have like three bosses and routinely one of them will say I'm not doing so great, and the other two will say I'm doing a great job and not to listen to the first one because they just got a bad performance review.

      Kaplan for experience; not for job satisfaction or pay

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best reasons were work experience. Valuable teaching and legislative learning possible. Learned quite a bit about how much more important it was to manage numbers than students. Quite often Kaplan management sent from corporate to dictate than to lead or advise

      Cons

      Management often insensitive about employee personal life. Salary not commensurate with experience or work desired. Personal opinion is that in order to pay an employee as a "salaried" employee the salary must exceed 40K/yr. Kaplan limited our salary but still expected us to work in excess of 50hrs weekly planning and performing tasks that required more hours or more people.

      The Benefits of Working at Kaplan

      Pros

      Working at Kaplan has the obvious benefits of interacting with people from varied walks of life in a relatively laid back environment. Teaching is hard work and working at Kaplan is just that. If you are a people person who enjoys problem solving, then Kaplan keeps things fresh with admission of new students and the ability to learn from each others' perspectives. I like that Kaplan has regular hours, so you are not working at all hours of the day. Your schedule is set and you decide how much preparation time you will put into your pre-office/school day. It is what you put into it.

      Cons

      The staff can be cliquey.
