Pros

Flexible schedule and easy money.

Cons

The material is very boring and I don't like "selling" the company to students who have already paid for their classes.

Pros

Great people - lots of fun. There are lots of resources provided for employees to develop job knowledge, but not much in the personal growth area. It's nice to work in a place where everyone is truly smart!

Cons

Long hours, low pay. Certain areas have few available jobs and the competition is not friendly. Their HR department is terrified of upset employees and lawsuits - so much so that they simply will not reprimand employees. Sometimes they wont even give construtive criticism. The overall pay structure is not streamlined - there is LOTS of variation between people in the same position.

Pros

intelligent coworkers, fun environment, business casual attire. great room for growth, career advancement. Kaplan really likes to promote from within, internal movement takes place relatively quickly. they have a flexible work schedule (relatively). depending on management, employees are allowed to come and go as they please within reasonable guidelines.

Cons

long hours, compensation is rather low. even with internal promotion, compensation frequently does not reflect the new position or title and does not take into account the exxtra duties and responsibilities that the emplyee assumes. Also hiring and budget freezes sometimes delays the entrace of much neded manpower. Unpaid lunch, paid breaks, the usual at any company.
