      It might sound like a good idea, but it's not really worth it.

      Pros

      It is the industry leader and the company has a firm hold on the competition. The benefits are pretty good. The people are bright and fun to work with. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit. and like having lots of autonomy and ownership, then you might love working at Kaplan.

      Cons

      12 hour days are part of the company culture and there's no overtime pay. Work-life balance is essentially non-existent, especially during the busy seasons. Field leadership is very important but is often very weak. This is not a M-F 9-5 type of job.

      Pros

      Working with students, flexibility in schedule. Developing business and student relationships are a fun and exciting part of the job. Most of the co-workers are also great people to work for.

      Cons

      Compensation very low - management very stingy with it! There is way too much turnover in our lower and upper management positions. Starting over with a brand new marketer in such a large region is a pain and a waste of training. Raises are hard to come by and require a lot of work and stress to get! The bonus structure is also very poor. You have to wait an entire year AND be employed through March of the next year to get your bonus IF you qualify.
