Pros

The employees of Kaplan are generally positive, well-meaning, well-educated people. The company as a whole is large and is growing through acquisition. Kaplan isn't likely to disappear anytime soon. For remote employees, schedules and work structure are flexible.

Cons

This stagnant industry leads to little opportunity for growth. Layoffs and restructuring happen frequently. Wages are well below market rate. Marketing campaigns are poorly strategized and executed.

Pros

Long term training and development programs available, extremely flexible scheduling, pay is fair and EVERYTHING (emailing students, prep time, training) is paid for unlike other tutoring and teaching companies, the staff is incredible and really cares about your well-being, a lot of the upper management full-time staff also started as teachers so there is a lot of room for growth.

Cons

There are very few cons of working here. The only true scheduled time is your teaching time so flexibility is incredible. You must score in the 90th percentile on the test you want to teach but you can take free internal tests to achieve this requirement if you haven't had the opportunity to reach this score previously.
