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.
