Pros

Fast-paced environment, some Midwest offices are comfortable, modern, bright Some dynamic co-workers in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale Advancement potential and opportunity to change offices Strong, lucrative parent company (in April 2010) Company offers full benefits in compensation package. Lots of training - especially for IT people - in some locations like New York City Steady paycheck!!

Cons

High turnover throughout company Inept top management that sends a mixed message. Reactive middle management that communicates poorly with direct reports. Company lacks team concept 40+ hours means 70+ and drained workers. Very poor company for anyone in admissions or marketing/advertising/editorial. Admissions people face unrealistic quotes, others cut corners, compromise, are held back by Kaplan name Poor company for anyone who takes education seriously. Negative atmosphere chips away at self-confidence
