Pros

Kaplan, especially Kaplan Higher Education has many opportunities for advancement. They do a good job of pretending that tocare about their employees.

Cons

Kaplan Higher Education was not organized. There was no organization or standard operating procedures. I and my fellow employees also had many complaints about doing tasks that were outside of our job descriptions. The biggest down side is compensation. Kaplan pays well, but I you are a hourly employee they are very reluctant (if not unwilling) to compensate their employees for overtime. Overall, all Kaplan cares about is making money at any cost, even if that means deceiving potential students.

Pros

If you don't mind starting at a low salary and can be a "puppet" there is opportunity to move forward in the company. I hear that there are those that have been with the company for a long time...there is always growth in the Education field so there should be growth in the company. Their health benefits start on day 1.

Cons

Unqualified Suspervisors/Directors...it's very clicke-same type of people group together. Being a public company-they care more about meeting numbers and not the students being enrolled. Most of the positions are underpaid. There is a lot of turn around. Overall, I find the company very tacky/unprofessional.
